Set Theory for Computing

Reviews / Votes

From the reviews:

"The book is an up-to-date and well-organized collection of techniques and results concerning the problem of dealing with sets in computer science. . In particular, the book can be very interesting for postgraduate students and researchers in computer science and logic. . The book is largely self-contained and the style of presentation is extremely rigorous and accurate. ... this will become a sort of classic work for automated deduction and declarative programming and surely it deserves to find a place in all scientific libraries." (A. Dovier, Theory and Practise of Logic Programming, Vol. 3 (1), 2003)

"Set theory has played the role of a lingua franca for modern mathematics. The authors of this monograph intend to extend this service to computer science, artificial intelligence, and computational mathematics. . Several variants of ZF, which are meant for different applications, are surveyed and concrete, computable models are investigated. . There is an extensive list of references, an index of symbols and an index of terms." (J.M. Plotkin, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 981, 2002)
