A.P. Morse's Set Theory and Analysis (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2022): Robert A. Alps A.P. Morse's Set Theory and Analysis (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2022)
Robert A. Alps
R3,824 Discovery Miles 38 240 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This volume explores A.P. Morse's (1911-1984) development of a formal language for writing mathematics, his application of that language in set theory and mathematical analysis, and his unique perspective on mathematics. The editor brings together a variety of Morse's works in this compilation, including Morse's book A Theory of Sets, Second Edition (1986), in addition to material from another of Morse's publications, Web Derivatives, and notes for a course on analysis from the early 1950's. Because Morse provided very little in the way of explanation in his written works, the editor's commentary serves to outline Morse's goals, give informal explanations of Morse's formal language, and compare Morse's often unique approaches to more traditional approaches. Minor corrections to Morse's previously published works have also been incorporated into the text, including some updated axioms, theorems, and definitions. The editor's introduction thoroughly details the corrections and changes made and provides readers with valuable insight on Morse's methods. A.P. Morse's Set Theory and Analysis will appeal to graduate students and researchers interested in set theory and analysis who also have an interest in logic. Readers with a particular interest in Morse's unique perspective and in the history of mathematics will also find this book to be of interest.

Both a stepping stone to higher analysis courses and a foundation for deeper reasoning in applied mathematics, this book provides a broad foundation in real analysis. In connection with this, within the chapters, readers are pointed to numerous accessible articles from The College Mathematics Journal and The American Mathematical Monthly. Axioms are presented with an emphasis on their distinguishing characteristic, culminating with the axioms that define the reals. Set theory is another theme found in this book, running underneath the rigorous development of functions, sequences and series, and ending with chapters on transfinite cardinal numbers and basic point-set topology. Differentiation and integration are developed rigorously with the goal of forming a firm foundation for deeper study. A historical theme interweaves throughout the book, with many quotes and accounts of interest to all readers. Over 600 exercises, dozens of figures, an annotated bibliography, and several appendices help the learning process.

Set Theoretical Aspects of Real Analysis (Hardcover): Alexander B Kharazishvili Set Theoretical Aspects of Real Analysis (Hardcover)
Alexander B Kharazishvili
R5,846 Discovery Miles 58 460 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Set Theoretical Aspects of Real Analysis is built around a number of questions in real analysis and classical measure theory, which are of a set theoretic flavor. Accessible to graduate students, and researchers the beginning of the book presents introductory topics on real analysis and Lebesgue measure theory. These topics highlight the boundary between fundamental concepts of measurability and nonmeasurability for point sets and functions. The remainder of the book deals with more specialized material on set theoretical real analysis. The book focuses on certain logical and set theoretical aspects of real analysis. It is expected that the first eleven chapters can be used in a course on Lebesque measure theory that highlights the fundamental concepts of measurability and non-measurability for point sets and functions. Provided in the book are problems of varying difficulty that range from simple observations to advanced results. Relatively difficult exercises are marked by asterisks and hints are included with additional explanation. Five appendices are included to supply additional background information that can be read alongside, before, or after the chapters. Dealing with classical concepts, the book highlights material not often found in analysis courses. It lays out, in a logical, systematic manner, the foundations of set theory providing a readable treatment accessible to graduate students and researchers.

Granular Computing - Analysis and Design of Intelligent Systems (Hardcover, New): Witold Pedrycz Granular Computing - Analysis and Design of Intelligent Systems (Hardcover, New)
Witold Pedrycz
R6,279 Discovery Miles 62 790 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Information granules, as encountered in natural language, are implicit in nature. To make them fully operational so they can be effectively used to analyze and design intelligent systems, information granules need to be made explicit. An emerging discipline, granular computing focuses on formalizing information granules and unifying them to create a coherent methodological and developmental environment for intelligent system design and analysis. Granular Computing: Analysis and Design of Intelligent Systems presents the unified principles of granular computing along with its comprehensive algorithmic framework and design practices. Introduces the concepts of information granules, information granularity, and granular computing Presents the key formalisms of information granules Builds on the concepts of information granules with discussion of higher-order and higher-type information granules Discusses the operational concept of information granulation and degranulation by highlighting the essence of this tandem and its quantification in terms of the associated reconstruction error Examines the principle of justifiable granularity Stresses the need to look at information granularity as an important design asset that helps construct more realistic models of real-world systems or facilitate collaborative pursuits of system modeling Highlights the concepts, architectures, and design algorithms of granular models Explores application domains where granular computing and granular models play a visible role, including pattern recognition, time series, and decision making Written by an internationally renowned authority in the field, this innovative book introduces readers to granular computing as a new paradigm for the analysis and synthesis of intelligent systems. It is a valuable resource for those engaged in research and practical developments in computer, electrical, industrial, manufacturing, and biomedical engineering. Building from fundamentals, the book is also suitable for readers from nontechnical disciplines where information granules assume a visible position.

Celebrating the work of world-renowned mathematician Sam B. Nadler, Jr., this reference examines the most recent advances in the analysis of continua. The book offers articles on the contributions of Professor Nadler, theorems on the structure and uniqueness of hyperspaces, results on the dynamics of solenoids, examples involving inverse limits of maps of the interval conditions on embeddability of hyperspaces and symmetric products, open problems on a number of topics. It examines boundary bumping theorems, fixed point theorems for nonseparating plane continua, Whitney maps and Whitney properties, topological entropy for arc-like continua, a variety of mapping properties, and more.

Understanding the Infinite (Paperback, New Ed): Shaughan Lavine Understanding the Infinite (Paperback, New Ed)
Shaughan Lavine
R1,352 Discovery Miles 13 520 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

How can the infinite, a subject so remote from our finite experience, be an everyday tool for the working mathematician? Blending history, philosophy, mathematics, and logic, Shaughan Lavine answers this question with exceptional clarity. Making use of the mathematical work of Jan Mycielski, he demonstrates that knowledge of the infinite is possible, even according to strict standards that require some intuitive basis for knowledge.

Set Theoretical Logic-The Algebra of Models (Hardcover): W. Felscher Set Theoretical Logic-The Algebra of Models (Hardcover)
W. Felscher
R2,540 Discovery Miles 25 400 Out of stock

An introduction to mathematical logic covering all the usual topics: compactness and axiomatizability of semantical consequence; Lowenheim-Skolem-Tarski theorems; prenex and other normal forms; and characterizations of elementary classes with help of ultraproducts. Logic is based exclusively on semantics. Truth and satisfiability of formulas in structures are the basic notions, and there is no need to mention logical calculi with axioms and rules (they are the subjects of Volume Two). The methods are algebraic in the sense that notions such as homomorphisms and congruence relations are applied throughout, and this not just as abbreviations, but in order to gain new insights. These concepts are developed in an introductory chapter which, together with chapters five to nine on equations, can be viewed as a first course on universal algebra. The approach to algorithms generating semantical consequences is algebraic as well: for equations in algebras, for propositional formulas, for open formulas of predicate logic, and for the formulas of quantifier logic. The structural description of logical consequence is a straightforward extension of that of equational consequence as long as Bool
