Synopsis Logic Colloquium '03 by : Viggo Stoltenberg-Hansen

Since their inception, the Perspectives in Logic and Lecture Notes in Logic series have published seminal works by leading logicians. Many of the original books in the series have been unavailable for years, but they are now in print once again. This volume, the twenty-fourth publication in the Lecture Notes in Logic series, contains the proceedings of the European Summer Meeting of the Association for Symbolic Logic, held in Helsinki, Finland, in August 2003. These articles include an extended tutorial on generalizing finite model theory, as well as seventeen original research articles spanning all areas of mathematical logic, including proof theory, set theory, model theory, computability theory and philosophy.

Synopsis Foundations of Mathematics by : Andrés Eduardo Caicedo

This volume contains the proceedings of the Logic at Harvard conference in honor of W. Hugh Woodin's 60th birthday, held March 27–29, 2015, at Harvard University. It presents a collection of papers related to the work of Woodin, who has been one of the leading figures in set theory since the early 1980s. The topics cover many of the areas central to Woodin's work, including large cardinals, determinacy, descriptive set theory and the continuum problem, as well as connections between set theory and Banach spaces, recursion theory, and philosophy, each reflecting a period of Woodin's career. Other topics covered are forcing axioms, inner model theory, the partition calculus, and the theory of ultrafilters. This volume should make a suitable introduction to Woodin's work and the concerns which motivate it. The papers should be of interest to graduate students and researchers in both mathematics and philosophy of mathematics, particularly in set theory, foundations and related areas.
