Rethinking Logic
Springer 2013;This volume examines the limitations of mathematical logic and proposes a new approach to logic intended to overcome them. To this end, the book compares mathematical logic with earlier views of logic, both in the ancient and in the modern age, including those of Plato, Aristotle, Bacon, Descartes, Leibniz, and Kant. From the comparison it is... more...
The Golden Ticket
Princeton University Press 2013; US$ 26.95The P-NP problem is the most important open problem in computer science, if not all of mathematics. The Golden Ticket provides a nontechnical introduction to P-NP, its rich history, and its algorithmic implications for everything we do with computers and beyond. In this informative and entertaining book, Lance Fortnow traces how the problem arose... more...
Das Hilbertprogramm

Constraint Satisfaction Problems
Wiley 2013; US$ 85.00Owing to their omnipresence in academia, industry, and even real life, constraint satisfaction problems (CSP) have become a subject of intense research in both artificial intelligence and operations research. This book introduces readers to the classic CSP, detailing several extensions/improvements of both formalisms and techniques for tackling a wide... more...
Qualitative Spatial and Temporal Reasoning
Wiley 2013; US$ 197.00Starting with an updated description of Allen's calculus, the book proceeds with a description of the main qualitative calculi which have been developed over the last two decades. It describes the connection of complexity issues to geometric properties. Models of the formalisms are described using the algebraic notion of weak representations... more...
Logicism and its Philosophical Legacy
Cambridge University Press 2012; US$ 79.00These essays apply the core conceptual innovation underlying Frege's theory of number to the general analysis of theoretical knowledge. more...
