Description
Author homepage: http://homepages.cwi.nl/~jve/HR/
Review from http://arxiv.org/abs/cs.PL/0512096
The textbook by Doets and van Eijck is the first to put a specific programming language systematically to work for presenting a major piece of logic and mathematics. The reader is taken through chapters on basic logic, proof recipes, sets and lists, relations and functions, recursion and co-recursion, the number systems, polynomials and power series, ending with Cantor's infinities. The book uses Haskell for the executable and strongly typed manifestation of various mathematical notions at the level of declarative programming. The book adopts a systematic but relaxed mathematical style (definition, example, exercise, ...); the text is very pleasant to read due to a small amount of anecdotal information, and due to the fact that definitions are fluently integrated in the running text. An important goal of the book is to get the reader acquainted with reasoning about programs.

Janice N. Harrington
When did you set your foot on the path of poetry? Did you feel a sudden bolt? Or did you grow gradually more passionate about poetry? A steadily growing passion. My experience with poetry evolved and grew from family storytelling, playground chants, the rhythms of the Black church, the literary canon studied in the parochial school curriculum of the 1960s, the Black Arts Movement, and, finally, the revelation of seeing a live performance of Ntozake Shange's For Colored Girls Who've Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enough . But I never really started writing until later in life.
Is there a collaborative element to your writing process and what do you think it is?
All writing is collaborative in the sense that writers speak to other writers. Poetry is always a dialogue with other poets.
Are there poems, poets, or anthologies that have opened up or radically altered your ideas of what can be done in poetry? How did they do that?
Every poem gives me a chance to rethink my work. Douglas Kearney, whom I first met at a PSA reading, writes inventive experimental poetry. He allows members of the audience to shape the readings of his poems. How can you involve your readers in the act of creation? How do you convey that a poem can have many different readings? How do you prove in a material way that words are slippery? I have read and re-read his work, looking at how he wrestles with those questions and weighing the answers in my own work and readings.

Satan, Cantor, And Infinity and Other Mind-Boggling Puzzles
Raymond M. Smullyan, "Satan, Cantor, And Infinity and Other Mind-Boggling Puzzles" The author of What Is the Name of This Book? presents a compilation of more than two hundred challenging new logic puzzlesranging from simple brainteasers to complex mathematical paradoxes. Summary: To tell the truth... Rating: 5 Raymond Smullyan has been described (by Martin Gardner, no less) as the most entertaining logician ever (lets leave aside the lack of competition here after all, Kurt Godel wasn't known to be a bundle of laughs, etc. ...). One of the points of logic is to figure out what lines of reasoning make sense, and what can be considered true and false, given the proper rules of rational thought and the right information. This can be done by means of equations, symbolic exions and linguistic tools, but this can be rather dry. A much more enjoyable means of learning to apply logical principles is through the kinds of puzzles presented by Smullyan. It is somewhat ironic story problems are the point of greatest dread among many mathematics students, yet the logic-equivalent of story problems are the most fun!

Pillbox Destiny Ridguard
More Pillbox Stories
Janice N. Harrington’s book of poems, Even the hollow my body made is gone , is an important tale of music and memory. This chronicle, set on the brink of the Civil Rights movement, tells the story of Lillian, Webster, their children, and their grandchildren, a family living a meager life in the rural South more than 60 years ago. The book is split into five sections, some including one poem and others 12. All of the poems point to the author remembering and reflecting back to her childhood, as an adult. Throughout the book, the author utilizes repetition and alliteration to emphasize important themes, symbols, and motifs in her poems. The continued appearance of persimmon, catalpa, and kudzu trees, as well as crops like cotton and corn, display her connection with nature and how observant she is of her environment. The musical and lyrical quality of her work is expressed throughout the book, with the inclusion of song lyrics in poems like “The Thief’s Tabernacle” and “They All Sang.” She explores numerous topics from her perspectives as a girl and as an adult, and the poems reflect her growth.

To Infinity and beyond
I've been attempting some Tweetorials on Infinity. For those who would like more than can be expressed in 140 characters (a tough medium to talk about the infinite) here is an account of why there are different infinities.
To infinity and Beyond...
The very concept of number illustrates the power of the human mind to abstract mathematical identity from physically very different settings. In fact we seem genetically programmed to be able to detect when things are numerically identical or not. The decision to fight or fly in the face of the enemy depends on an assessment of whether the number in your pack is bigger or smaller than the number in the opposition. Those that can count, survive.
This ability of animals to detect numerical identity has been identified in many species. Monkeys, cats and dogs count their young to check they are all there; coots can identify when the number of eggs in their nest has increased indicating someone has added a parasite egg; babies as young as 5 months can tell when dolls are taken away from a pile. Even dogs seem to be able to tell that something fishy is going on when experimenters try to trick them into thinking that 1+1=3. But it is humans who have given names to these numerical identities.
This idea of comparison lead to mathematicians in the nineteenth century realising that even in our more sophisticated mathematical tribe we could actually compare infinities and say when two infinite sets are identical in size or not. Prior to the nineteenth century this idea of different sizes of infinity had never been considered. In fact when the German mathematician Georg Cantor proposed the idea in the 1870s, it was considered as almost heretical or at best the thoughts of a madman.

Then I consider the 'no end' scenario, and say that if x is infinite;
And so I decide that infinity is a 'special case'.
Then I get really clever and use something called set theory, which is pretty reliable, and use it to show that two sets of inifinite items can have one with an infinite number of items for ever item in the other set (real numbers versus integer numbers for example).
And so suddenly (in a round about way) I believe that even if x is infinite;
even though the numerical value of x is still tied to its definition in being undefinably quantifyable.
We now get people who believe in the big bang and yet say that the universe is spacially infinite. On the scientific side the only question on this is the shape of space. A spinning top that went around and around for ever has no relevance to the spacial extent of its environment.
To me this big mistake seems to pervade theoretical physics and cosmology far more than it deserves to. Infinities are where something runs on for ever. This is an unquantifyable value, and Cantors different infinities replace the equals sign, with all its amazing symmetry, with something significantly different.

    Physics Forums Science Education Introductory Physics PDA View Full Version : Cantors Infinity SimonA Mar27-06, 09:18 AM I have tried to understand Cantors ideas of infinity, but they still don't make sense to me. If you use the mathematical concept of sets to investigate something like this - a 'value' that can't be written because it has no end - then surely the size of the set is what you are evaluating ? How does changing 'size' to 'order' suddenly make a comparison of individual component s result in something different from size ?
    There seems to be a fundamental breakdown of logic. I don't mind that at all in mathematical terms. The square root of -1 is essentially illogical, but the reasoning behind it is solid. I love the very concept of complex numbers. But different sizes/orders of infinity seems plain crazy unless 'orders' describes rate of growth in terms of an individual comparison of members of the set. I honestly find it difficult, though it may be because I'm stupid, to understand how such a comparison of members can lead to a conclusion that one type of infinity is bigger than another. There seems to be an unwarrented assumption of an end point that makes no sense in terms of infinity. Infinity seems to be an absolute platonic concept. It just seems plain wrong to convert that concept into a relative one by cutting corners. Pure maths seems beautiful to me - Cantors infinities seem ugly.
    What is it that I'm missing here ?

      In The parts I did read, however, were mostly written well. Many books with logic puzzles like these typically present each one independently, and that was what I had expected of this one as well. Instead, Smullyan has a number of characters that help to tie together the puzzles so that it reads more like a journey or tour instead of enigmatic paroxysms. There is an assumed requisite amount of mathematical background expected of the reader. Basic knowledge of algebra is a must, discrete math or abstract math would probably be a big help for much of the book (I have had neither). Puzzle enthusiasts may be turned off by the at-times excessive leanings on theoretical math.

    The continuum hypothesis
    This is one half of a two-part article telling a story of two mathematical problems and two men: Georg Cantor, who discovered the strange world that these problems inhabit, and Paul Cohen (who died last year), who eventually solved them. This article explores what is known as the continuum hypothesis, while the other article explores the axiom of choice. Each article is self-contained, so you don't have to read both to get the picture.
    Cantor: The infinite match-maker
    Georg Cantor was a German logician who, in the late 19th century, achieved a feat which scientists, philosophers, and theologians had previously only dreamed about: a detailed analysis of infinity. For Cantor personally, the consequences of this triumph were not happy. Unable to solve one of the questions his work opened up, he became obsessive and miserable with his failure. This fixation combined with personal tragedy, the death of his son, and the public insult of having his work rejected as being "a hundred years too soon", Cantor spent the last years of his life in and out of sanatoria. Georg Cantor Cantor's discovery was that there is not just one infinity, but a never-ending hierarchy, each infinitely bigger than the last. It's a mind-bending thought, but the entrance to his exotic world is a surprisingly easy and familiar concept.

    THE SEXUAL IMPOTENCE OF THE PUERTO RICAN SOCIALIST PARTY
    By Lyn Marcus [Lyndon LaRouche] The Campaigner , Vol. 7, No. 1, Nov. 1973 WHAT IS MALE IMPOTENCE? The answer, dear comrade, lies in the subjective realm! What is this self-defeating, self-destroying flaw seizing the minds of proletarians which prevents them from immediate total mobilization for socialist revolution? What are the chains of illusion which imprison them to capitalism with a force even greater than that of bombs and bayonets? What is this inner terror obviously so much more powerful a force of enslavement than the terror of external physical destructive force? Objective politics is therefore first of all fundamentally a subjective question. To ignore so obvious a fact is itself a kind of hysterical blindness, is evidence of sexual impotence rampant in political life. Principles of the Philosophy of the Future The German Ideology Beyond Psychoanalysis Phenomenology While the new world makes its first appearance merely in general outline, merely as a whole lying concealed and hidden within a bare abstraction, the wealth of the bygone life, on the other hand, is still consciously present in recollection. Consciousness misses in the new form the detailed expanse of content; but still more the developed expression of form by which distinctions are definitely determined and arranged in their precise relations. Without this last feature science has no general intelligibility, and has the appearance of being the esoteric possession of a few individuals
