Foundations of Measurement: Representation, axiomatization, and invariance

All of the sciences — physical, biological, and social — have a need for quantitative measurement. This influential series, Foundations of Measurement, established the formal basis for measurement, justifying the assignment of numbers to objects in terms of their structural correspondence. Volume I introduces the distinct mathematical results that serve to formulate numerical representations of qualitative structures. Volume II extends the subject in the direction of geometrical, threshold, and probabilistic representations, and Volume III examines representation as expressed in axiomatization and invariance.

The ^ALand Shall Be Deluged in Blood

An original reinterpretation of the Nat Turner revolt, The Land Shall Be Deluged in Blood retells the story of how slave rebels challenged the slaveholders' authority in Southampton, Virginia. Paying careful attention to the dynamics among slaves and free, it reveals something surprising about both the fragility and power of slavery.

First Course in Mathematical Logic

by Patrick Suppes, Shirley A. Hill

2002 · Courier Corporation

Starting with symbolizing sentences and sentential connectives, this work proceeds to the rules of logical inference and sentential derivation, examines the concepts of truth and validity, and presents a series of truth tables. Subsequent topics include terms, predicates, and universal quantifiers; universal specification and laws of identity; axioms for addition; and universal generalization. 1964 edition. Index.
