Computability and Logic

By: George S. Boolos,John P. Burgess,Richard C. Jeffrey

Computability and Logic has become a classic because of its accessibility to students without a mathematical background and because it covers not simply the staple topics of an intermediate logic course, such as Godel's incompleteness theorems, but also a large number of optional topics, from Turing's theory of computability to Ramsey's theorem. This 2007 fifth edition has been thoroughly revised by John Burgess. Including a selection of exercises, adjusted for this edition, at the end of each chapter, it offers a simpler treatment of the representability of recursive functions, a traditional stumbling block for students on the way to the Godel incompleteness theorems. This updated edition is also accompanied by a website as well as an instructor's manual.

Formal Logic

Its Scope and Limits

By: Richard C. Jeffrey,John P. Burgess

The first beginning logic text to employ the tree method—a complete formal system of first-order logic that is remarkably easy to understand and use—this text allows students to take control of the nuts and bolts of formal logic quickly, and to move on to more complex and abstract problems.This new edition provides additional problems, solutions to selected problems, and two new Supplements: “Truth-Functional Equivalence” reinstates material on that topic from the second edition that was omitted in the third, and “Variant Methods, in which John Burgess provides a proof regarding the possibility of modifying the tree method so that it will always find a finite model when there is one, and another, which shows that a different modification—once contemplated by Jeffrey—can result in a dramatic speed-up of certain proofs.

Guide to Tendrillate Climbers of Costa Rican Mountains

By: Alexander Krings,Richard R. Braham

Climbers, such as lianas and vines, are important constituents of tropical forests and perhaps the single most important physiognomic characteristic differentiating tropical from temperate forests, occurring on nearly 50% of forest trees in Central and South America. Despite their widespread nutritional and medicinal use, lianas remain poorly understood ecologically. Tendrillate Climbers offers comprehensive coverage of all of the tendrillate lianas of Costa Rica and most of the tendrillate lianas of Central America. This unique reference provides Excellent keys to families and separate keys to genera and species State-of-the-art nomenclature and lists of synonymy when other scientific names have been published or used informally Each species illustrated by the author’s hand-drawn line art An invaluable addition to our understanding of tropical forests, the book offers new information as well as information brought together from dispersed publications and unpublished lists and reports. In these times of habitat fragmentation and species loss, this data is a significant contribution to the biological research that is thriving in Central America, especially Costa Rica. Tendrillate Climbers fills a major gap in the botanical literature. Its high level of scholarship and comprehensive coverage will astonish the tropical botanists, forestry scientists, ecologists, biologists, and horticulturalists who will want it as a reference for their continued work on this neglected group of plants.

From Grace to Verse, from Verse to Song

By: Richard C. Jeffrey

Richard Jeffreys new book, From Grace To Verse, From Verse To Song, presents the Church with many new inspired hymns and hymn texts. They are artfully crafted and deeply rooted in the gospel message of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Im certain that many new arrangements of his hymns and musical settings of his hymn texts will emerge into the Church as a result of this book. I believe that Richard Jeffreys first published collection of original hymns will stand alone as a literary work. It will be embraced by the Christian community for many years to come. Those who wish to read this book purely for enjoyment and spiritual inspiration will not be disappointed. Sister Sally A. Daley QM Without music, a hymn is just poetry and without words a hymn is just musical notes - - but marry the two elements and you create something wonderful that did not exist before. Jaroslav Vajda From grace to verse, from verse to song, may each new hymn tune now proclaim, with all the angels and the saints, the glory of your holy name. From grace to verse, from verse to song, the power of your Spirit flows through melodies that have the power to crush the might of heavens foes. Richard C. Jeffrey

Essays in Honour of Richard C. Jeffrey

By: D. Costantini,Maria Carla Galavotti

The proceedings of a June 1995 conference in Luino, Italy. One poem and 16 papers explore various issues in the philosophy of science with an emphasis on the foundations of probability and statistics and quantum mechanics. The topics include subjective probability, Bayesian statistics, probability kinematics, causal decision making, and probability and realism in quantum mechanics. The problem of collecting new evidence and updating probability judgements are addressed in reference to different applications. No index. Reprinted from Erkenntnis vol. 45, nos. 2-3 (1996).
