Book Review: Mathematical Linguistics by Kornai, András

For readers of traditional textbooks such as that of Partee, ter Meulen, and Wall (1990), the term 'mathematical linguistics' denotes a rather narrowly circumscribed set of issues including automata theory, set theory, and lambda calculus, with maybe a little formal language theory thrown in. Kornai's contribution is refreshingly different in that he treats, in this relatively compact volume, p...

Book review Logic and Visual Information

Researchers in the elds of philosophy, logic, computer science, and formal semantics are beginning to ask interesting questions concerning graphical representation. In addition to being a primary mode of human communication, such representations have been used even in the teaching of logic eg. Venn diagrams, or the Hyperproof" system. If the observation that the visual presentation of informati...

BOOK REVIEW: Quantum Logic in Algebraic Approach

Since the invention of quantum logic by Birkhoff & von Neumann there has been a steady interest in the topic. Quantum logic owes much of its current attention to the rise of experimental foundational physics. Many researchers interested in the foundation of physics begin to view this field as a way to understand the quantum better; or at least from a new, hitherto unknown viewpoint. Yet much is...
