For this, Aristotelian syllogistic does not suffice: We require relational reasoning. George Boole, in his Mathematical Analysis of Logic of 1847, initiated the treatment of logic as part of mathematics, specifically as part of algebra. Quite the opposite conviction was put forward early this century by Bertrand Russell and Alfred North Whitehead in their Principia Mathematica (1910 - 1913): that mathematics was essentially grounded in logic. Logic thus developed in two streams. On the one hand algebraic logic, in which the calculus of relations played a particularly prominent part, was taken up from Boole by Charles Sanders Peirce, who wished to do for the "calculus of relatives" what Boole had done for the calculus of sets. Peirce‘s work was in turn taken up by Schroder in his Algebra und Logik der Relative of 1895 (the third part of a massive work on the algebra of logic). Schroder‘s work, however, | 出版日期 | Book 1997 | 关键词 | algebra; algorithm; algorithms; calculus; computer; computer science; database; databases; development; langu | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-7091-6510-2 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-211-82971-4 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-7091-6510-2 | copyright | Springer-Verlag Wien 1997 |
