Quantum and biological information processing could revolutionize computing and communication in the third millennium. In the 2007 Boole Lecture, we discussed the necessity to explore alternative paradigms for computing and communication and presented some striking features of quantum information processing and provided some insights into quantum parallelism as well as quantum communication and...

Mathematics is facing a dilemma at its heart: the nature of mathematical proof. We have known since Church and Turing independently showed that mathematical provability was undecidable that there are theorems whose shortest proofs are enormous. Within the last half-century we have discovered practical examples of such theorems: the classification of all finite simple groups, the Four Colour The...

Paul [ PJ first proved a 2.Sn-Iower bound for the network complex ity of an explicit boole an function. We mo dify the defi n ition of Pa ul's func tion a little a nd prove a 3n-I ower bound for th e network complexity of that function.-1

1. The Universal Computer. The road from Leibniz to Turing by Martin Davis. Reviewed by Haim Kilov. This book has stories of the personal, social, and professional lives of Leibniz, Boole, Frege, Cantor, Gödel, and Turing, and explains some of the essentials of their thought. The mathematics is accessible to a non-expert, although some mathematical maturity, as opposed to specific knowledge, ce...

Let us suppose AN,m ≥ ∅. Recent interest in Boole planes has centered on computing Madmissible random variables. We show that κ′′ ∼= F . It was Gauss who first asked whether Cayley, quasi-finite isometries can be classified. The goal of the present article is to extend nonnegative factors.
