About this Item

Plain wraps. Photomechanically reproduced pages. Printed on single sides only. 125 pp. Provenance: Last name of noted American mathematician James Andrew Clarkson signed in pencil on the upper front cover. (this came from a small collection of his books). A work on logical calculus by Swiss mathematician Paul Bernays, first examining elementary aspects of it before developing theorems regarding logical calculus, with the central being the consistency theorem. Paul Bernays was a Swiss mathematician whose work on set theory elaborated on a theory by John Von Neumann, which in turn was modified by Kurt Godel to become known as the von Neumann-Bernays-Godel Set Theory. Logical calculus was created during Bernays' visit to the Institute for Advanced Study in the 1935-36 years. This institute is an independent research and intellectual study center that has served to host scholars such as Einstein, Oppenheimer, Godel and many others. James A. Clarkson was an American mathematician known for his work in number theory. He served as an operations' analyst during World War II, earning the Medal of Freedom. GOOD condition. Moderate general toning. Minor soiling, scuffing and a few stains to the covers. Some curling along the corners and edges. Small indent to center front cover.
