About This Item

Princeton, New Jersey: Princeton University, Department of Mathematics, 1964. Good condition. No owner's name or bookplate. Pages are clean, crisp, and unmarked. 8.75" wide by 11.25" tall. Pages are printed on rectos only (blank versos) housed in a blue paper portfolio with title visible under a clear plastic window. This is William Bigelow Easton's influential Ph.D. dissertation, presented in 1964 to the faculty of Princeton University. This copy is from the library of Alonzo Church, who was Easton's advisor. In the Acknowledgement section, the author thanks Professor Church "for his kind assistance and encouragement during the preparation of this thesis." This is the 1964 original edition. In 1970, POWERS OF REGULAR CARDINALS was printed in ANNALS OF MATHEMATICAL LOGIC, (vol. 1 no. 2, pp. 139-178). J. Barkley Rosser reviewed it in THE JOURNAL OF SYMBOLIC LOGIC (vol. 40, no. 3, Sep. 1975, pp. 460-461). This 1964 edition is one of several dozen books from Alonzo Church's personal library that we were lucky enough to purchase at auction in New Jersey. Several of the books contain his signature, or a presentation inscription to him. Unfortunately, this copy does not have those signs of his ownership. [But please check our inventory for several others that do]. Alonzo Church (1903 - 1995) was professor of mathematics at Princeton University (1929-1967) and of mathematics and philosophy at UCLA (1967-1990). He was the founding editor of the JOURNAL OF SYMBOLIC LOGIC. Among his most influential contributions are Church's Theorem, Church's Thesis, and the Lambda Calculus. His work was of major importance in mathematical logic, recursion theory, theoretical computer science, and functional programming languages in general. Professor Church's creation of lambda calculus was the foundation for the LISP programming language and provided the semantic model for ALGOL. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences, British Academy, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Church is regarded by many as the greatest American logician of the 20th century. [For more on Church's contributions, see items 250, 251, 321, 394, and 533 in Hook and Norman's ORIGINS OF CYBERSPACE, A LIBRARY ON THE HISTORY OF COMPUTING...]. First Edition. Softcover. Good condition. (viii), 66pp. (mimeographed). Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.
