Book Synopsis Practical Foundations of Mathematics by : Paul Taylor

Download or read book Practical Foundations of Mathematics written by Paul Taylor and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-05-13 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practical Foundations collects the methods of construction of the objects of twentieth-century mathematics. Although it is mainly concerned with a framework essentially equivalent to intuitionistic Zermelo-Fraenkel logic, the book looks forward to more subtle bases in categorical type theory and the machine representation of mathematics. Each idea is illustrated by wide-ranging examples, and followed critically along its natural path, transcending disciplinary boundaries between universal algebra, type theory, category theory, set theory, sheaf theory, topology and programming. Students and teachers of computing, mathematics and philosophy will find this book both readable and of lasting value as a reference work.
