APRIL 1991, VOLUME 38, NUMBER 4 273 From the Executive Director ... ALTERNATE MODES OF RESEARCH SUPPORT AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY For the past two decades there has been debate about lack of funding for support of research mathematics. In 1984, the first David Report, "Renewing U.S. Mathematics: Critical Resource for the Future," found the situation in mathematics to be much worse than the preliminary evidence indicated and documented the imbalance between federal support for mathematics and related sciences. That report presented a national EDITORIAL COMMITTEE plan to be carried out over the next five years and led to marked budget increases in Michael G. Crandall the mathematical sciences at some of the federal agencies. However, large increases in Amassa Fauntleroy needed graduate and postdocoral support and the rapid inflation of salaries absorbed Robert M. Fossum (Chairman) most of these increases. In 1990, a follow-up report, "Renewing U.S. Mathematics: Carolyn S. Gordon (Forum Editor) A Plan for the 1990s" (known as David IT), documented a continuing imbalance in D. J. Lewis federal funding and indicated that much needs to be done toward the national plan of L. Ridgway Scott the earlier report. Robert E. L. Turner (Letters Editor) MANAGING EDITOR We have evidence that there is much to be done while, at the same time, most Donovan H.

  • Stephen Cole Kleene

    Stephen Cole Kleene

    STEPHEN COLE KLEENE American mathematician and logician Stephen Cole Kleene (January 5, 1909 – January 25, 1994) helped lay the foundations for modern computer science. In the 1930s, he and Alonzo Church, developed the lambda calculus, considered to be the mathematical basis for programming language. It was an effort to express all computable functions in a language with a simple syntax and few grammatical restrictions. Kleene was born in Hartford, Connecticut, but his real home was at his paternal grandfather’s farm in Maine. After graduating summa cum laude from Amherst (1930), Kleene went to Princeton University where he received his PhD in 1934. His thesis, A Theory of Positive Integers in Formal Logic, was supervised by Church. Kleene joined the faculty of the University of Wisconsin in 1935. During the next several years he spent time at the Institute for Advanced Study, taught at Amherst College and served in the U.S. Navy, attaining the rank of Lieutenant Commander. In 1946, he returned to Wisconsin, where he stayed until his retirement in 1979. In 1964 he was named the Cyrus C. MacDuffee professor of mathematics. Kleene was one of the pioneers of 20th century mathematics. His research was devoted to the theory of algorithms and recursive functions (that is, functions defined in a finite sequence of combinatorial steps). Together with Church, Kurt Gödel, Alan Turing, and others, Kleene developed the branch of mathematical logic known as recursion theory, which helped provide the foundations of theoretical computer science. The Kleene Star, Kleene recursion theorem and the Ascending Kleene Chain are named for him.

    Kind Theory Thesis by Joseph R. Kiniry In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy California Institute of Technology Pasadena, California 2002 (Defended 10 May 2002) ii © 2002 Joseph R. Kiniry All Rights Reserved iii Preface This thesis describes a theory for representing, manipulating, and reasoning about structured pieces of knowledge in open collaborative systems. The theory's design is motivated by both its general model as well as its target user commu- nity. Its model is structured information, with emphasis on classification, relative structure, equivalence, and interpretation. Its user community is meant to be non-mathematicians and non-computer scientists that might use the theory via computational tool support once inte- grated with modern design and development tools. This thesis discusses a new logic called kind theory that meets these challenges. The core of the work is based in logic, type theory, and universal algebras. The theory is shown to be efficiently implementable, and several parts of a full realization have already been constructed and are reviewed. Additionally, several software engineering concepts, tools, and technologies have been con- structed that take advantage of this theoretical framework. These constructs are discussed as well, from the perspectives of general software engineering and applied formal methods. iv Acknowledgements I am grateful to my initial primary adviser, Prof. K. Mani Chandy, for bringing me to Caltech and his willingness to let me explore many unfamiliar research fields of my own choosing. I am also appreciative of my second adviser, Prof. Jason Hickey, for his support, encouragement, feedback, and patience through the later years of my work.

    Commemorative Meeting for Alfred Tarski Stanford University-November 7, 1983

    Patrick Suppes received his Ph.D. in Philosophy in 1950 at Columbia Univer­ sity, where he worked with Ernest Nagel. He has been at Stanford since 1950 and is now Professor ofPhilosophy and Statistics. Suppes' main research inter­ ests include the philosophy of science, theory of measurement, decision theory and probability, and computer-assisted education. He is a member of the Na­ tional Academy of Sciences. Jon Barwise received his Ph.D. in Mathematics in 1967 at Stanford University, where he .worked with Solomon Feferman. After teaching at U.C.L.A., Yale, and Wisconsin, he returned to Stanford as Professor of Philosophy in 1983. Barwise's main research interests include mathematical logic, especially model theory, set theory, and generalized re­ cursion theory; and applications of logic to the semantics of natural language. At Stanford, Barwise has been Director of the Center for Study of Language and Information, and is currently chairman of the Program in Symbolic Sys­ tems. Solomon Feferman received his Ph.D. in Mathematics in 1957 at the University of California, Berkeley, where he studied with Alfred Tarski. He has been at Stanford since 1956, where he is Professor of Mathematics and Phi­ losophy. His research interests are in mathematical logic and the foundations of mathematics, especially proof theory and constructive and semiconstructive mathematics, as well as in the history of modern logic. Feferman is Editor-in­ Chief of the Collected Works of Kurt Godel; he is currently Chairman of the Department of Mathematics.
