This is a comprehensive book on the life and works of Leon Henkin
(1921-2006), an extraordinary scientist and excellent teacher whose
writings became influential right from the beginning of his career
with his doctoral thesis on "The completeness of formal systems"
under the direction of Alonzo Church. Upon the invitation of Alfred
Tarski, Henkin joined the Group in Logic and the Methodology of
Science in the Department of Mathematics at the University of
California Berkeley in 1953. He stayed with the group until his
retirement in 1991. This edited volume includes both foundational
material and a logic perspective. Algebraic logic, model theory,
type theory, completeness theorems, philosophical and foundational
studies are among the topics covered, as well as mathematical
education. The work discusses Henkin's intellectual development,
his relation to his predecessors and contemporaries and his impact
on the recent development of mathematical logic. It offers a
valuable reference work for researchers and students in the fields
of philosophy, mathematics and computer science.
