Description
This edited collection bridges the foundations and practice of constructive mathematics and focusses on the contrast between the theoretical developments, which have been most useful for computer science (eg constructive set and type theories), and more specific efforts on constructive analysis, algebra and topology. Aimed at academic logicians, mathematicians, philosophers and computer scientists Including, with contributions from leading researchers, it is up-to-date, highly topical and broad in scope.
