Proceedings Of The International Congress Of Mathematicians : 15-22 August 1962
By Stenstrom, Dr. V. (Editor)
Includes LOGIC, ARITHMETIC, AND AUTOMATA by Alonzo Church, along with a large number of other papers, most in English, but with some in French, German or Russian. Bibliographical references. Index. From the preface: `This volume contains the official record of the International Congress of Mathematicians held in Stockholm from 15 to 22 August 1962, and the text of the addresses given by invitation of the Organizing Committee.` This is one of several dozen books from Alonzo Church`s library that we were lucky enough to purchase at auction. Several of the books contain his signature, or a presentation inscription to him. Unfortunately, this copy does not have those signs of his ownership. [But please check our inventory for several others that do]. 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.
