Upon the invitation of Alfred Tarski, Henkin joined the Group in Logic and the Methodology of Science in the Department of Mathematics at the University of California Berkeley in 1953. He stayed with the group until his retirement in 1991. This edited volume includes both foundational material and a logic perspective. Algebraic logic, model theory, type theory, completeness theorems, philosophical and foundational studies are among the topics covered, as well as mathematical education. The work discusses Henkin’s intellectual development, his relation to his predecessors and contemporaries, and his impact on the recent development of mathematical logic. It offers a valuable reference work for researchers and students in the fields of philosophy, mathematics and computer science.Studies in Universal Logic,2297-0282Mathematical logicMathematicsHistoryMathematical Logic and Foundationshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M24005History of Mathematical Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M23009Mathematical Logic and Formal Languageshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I16048Mathematical logic.Mathematics.History.Mathematical Logic and Foundations.History of Mathematical Sciences.Mathematical Logic and Formal Languages.160Manzano Maríaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtSain Ildikóedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtAlonso Enriqueedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910299972103321The Life and Work of Leon Henkin2529249UNINA
