Introduction to Relation Algebras - Givant, Steven

. .

The first volume of a pair that charts relation algebras from novice to expert level, this text offers a comprehensive grounding for readers new to the topic. Upon completing this introduction, mathematics students may delve into areas of active research by progressing to the second volume, Advanced

Résumé :
Introduces readers from mathematics, computer science, and beyond to the increasingly relevant field of relation algebras Engages the reader with numerous examples, exercises, and historical remarks The first volume of a textbook pair, which together provide a landmark unified treatment of the field...

Biographie:
Steven Givant is a Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science at Mills College, California. As a long-term collaborator of Alfred Tarski-one of the great logicians-Givant has been involved first-hand in the development of the field of relation algebras since the 1970s. His other books include Introduction to Relation Algebras and Advanced Topics in Relation Algebras (Springer, 2017), Duality Theories for Boolean Algebras with Operators (Springer, 2014), Introduction to Boolean Algebras, with Paul Halmos (Springer, 2009), Logic as Algebra, with Paul Halmos (MAA, 1998), and A Formalization of Set Theory without Variables, with Alfred Tarski (AMS, 1987). He was also a coeditor, with Ralph McKenzie, of the collected papers of Alfred Tarski (Birkh?user, 1986). Hajnal Andr?ka is a Professor of Mathematics at the Alfr?d R?nyi Institute of Mathematics in the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. She has been a prominentfigure in the development of relation algebra theory since the 1970s and won the prestigious Alfr?d R?nyi Prize in 1987. Her other books include Universal Algebraic Logic, with Istv?n N?meti and Ildik? Sain (Birkh?user, 2017), Decision Problems for Equational Theories of Relation Algebras, with Steven Givant and Istv?n N?meti (AMS, 1997), and Cylindric Set Algebras, with Leon Henkin, J. Donald Monk, Alfred Tarski, and Istv?n N?meti (Springer, 1981)....
