  • Essays on the Foundations of Mathematics by Moritz Pasch

    Modifié par Stephen Pollard ...

This volume features English translations of 14 papers Pasch published in the decade 1917-1926. In them, Pasch argues that geometry and, more surprisingly, number theory are branches of empirical science; he provides ... En savoir plus

  • The Birth of Model Theory

    Löwenheim's Theorem in the Frame of the Theory of Relatives

    par Calixto Badesa ...
    Löwenheim's theorem reflects a critical point in the history of mathematical logic, for it marks the birth of model theory--that is, the part of logic that concerns the relationship between formal theories and their models. However, while the original proofs of other, comparably significant theorems are well understood, this is not the case with Löwenheim's theorem. For example, the very result ... En savoir plus
