From the rear cover: "This long-awaited book replaces Hughes and Cresswell's two classic studies of modal logic: AN INTRODUCTION TO MODAL LOGIC and A COMPANION TO MODAL LOGIC. A NEW INTRODUCTION TO MODAL LOGIC is an entirely new work completely re-written by the authors. They have incorporated all the new developments that have taken place since 1968 in both modal propositional logic and modal predicate logic without sacrificing the clarity of exposition and approachability that were essential features of their earlier works. The book takes readers from the most basic systems of modal propositional logic right up to systems of modal predicate with identity. It covers both technical developments such as completeness and incompleteness and finite and infinite models and their philosophical applications especially in the area of modal predicate logic.".

1947023624Lisboa Portugal: Publicacoes Europa-America 1947. Inscribed: "March 12th To Prof. Alonzo Church with the compliments of illegible signature NOT Curvelo." Good condition. Discrete Logical Multiplicities. This volume was among several dozen books from Alonzo Church's library that we were lucky enough to purchase at auction in New Jersey. Several of the books contain his signature or a presentation inscription to him. Unfortunately this volume does not have those signs of his ownership. But please check our inventory for several others that do. One page does have brief margin notes that appear to be in his hand. Alonzo Church 1903 - 1995 was professor of mathematics at Princeton University 1929-1967 and of mathematics and philosophy at UCLA 1967-1990. He was the founding editor of the JOURNAL OF SYMBOLIC LOGIC. Among his most influential contributions are Church's Theorem Church's Thesis and the Lambda Calculus. His work was of major importance in mathematical logic recursion theory theoretical computer science and functional programming languages in general. Professor Church's creation of lambda calculus was the foundation for the LISP programming language and provided the semantic model for ALGOL. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences British Academy and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Church is regarded by many as the greatest American logician of the 20th century.

1949023567Lisboa: Universidade de Lisboa 1949.

Good condition. Paper clip mark on the title page from attached index card written in the hand of Alonzo Church. Separata da Revista da Faculdade de Letras de Lisboa Tomo XIV - 2 Serie No 3. From Wikipedia: "For Edmundo Curvelo forty years of life and ten publications were enough to mark the history of Portuguese thought; in general through work in the field of logic in particular through the endeavor to logify psychology. According to him Psychology would only gain the status of Science to the extent that it was allowed to logify because for Professor Abrantes science is a logical construction. To logify any subject is to discover the stable structures that have the language that can represent that any subject faithfully. The work he built on logic is all the more remarkable as it is known that the area of logic was not in the history of Portuguese thought an area of great development. Not to underline that at the time it was the occupation of very few. In his research area he fought the current. Professor Manuel Curado 2001 pointedly points out in the History of Portuguese Philosophical Thought that Edmundo Curvelo was the best Portuguese logician of the twentieth century and beyond: For better and worse Curvelo is the logic of the twentieth century. Portugal. Curado 2001: 345. Whether before or after nothing more significant is in the history of Portuguese twentieth-century logic than the work of the Alentejo teacher."

NO owner's name or bookplate. Pages are clean and unmarked. Relation theory. Ph.D. thèses présentées a la faculté des sciences de l'université de Paris. soutenues le 29 octobre 1953. Text in French with English summary. This work was reviewed by Paul Dedecker in Alonzo Church's JOURNAL OF SYMBOLIC LOGIC Volume 22 Issue 4 1957 371-372. The French mathematical logician Roland Fraïssé 1920-2008 received his doctoral degree from the University of Paris in 1953. In this his thesis Fraïssé devised a method of determining elementary equivalence. Using a back-and-forth methodology he determined whether two model-theoretic structures were elementarily equivalent. It was later formulated as the Ehrenfeucht-Fraïssé game.
