Writings, including articles, letters, and unpublished work, by one
of the twentieth century's most influential figures in mathematical
logic and philosophy. Alonzo Church's long and distinguished career
in mathematics and philosophy can be traced through his influential
and wide-ranging writings. Church published his first article as an
undergraduate at Princeton in 1924 and his last shortly before his
death in 1995. This volume collects all of his published articles,
many of his reviews, his monograph The Calculi of
Lambda-Conversion, the introduction to his important and
authoritative textbook Introduction to Mathematical Logic, a
substantial amount of previously unpublished work (including
chapters for the unfinished second volume of Introduction to
Mathematical Logic), and a selection of letters to such
correspondents as Rudolf Carnap and W. V. O. Quine. With the
exception of the reviews, letters, and unpublished work, these
appear in chronological order, for the most part in the format in
which they were originally published. Church's work in
calculability, especially the monograph on the lambda-calculus,
helped lay the foundation for theoretical computer science; it
attracted the interest of Alan Turing, who later completed his PhD
under Church's supervision. (Church coined the term "Turing
machine" in a review.) Church's influential textbook, still in
print, defined the field of mathematical logic for a generation of
logicians. In addition, his close connection with the Association
for Symbolic Logic and his many years as review editor for the
Journal of Symbolic Logic are documented in the reviews included
here.
