ISBN: 0521318025 ISBN-13: 9780521318020 Publisher: Cambridge University Press OUR PRICE: $58.89 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: April 1987 Annotation: This is an introduction to, and survey of, the constructive approaches to pure mathematics. The authors emphasise the viewpoint of Errett Bishop??'s school, but intuitionism. Russian constructivism and recursive analysis are also treated, with comparisons between the various approaches included where appropriate. Constructive mathematics is now enjoying a revival, with interest from not only logicans but also category theorists, recursive function theorists and theoretical computer scientists. This account for non-specialists in these and other disciplines. |
