Something I should add to my semantic resources page: Stanley N. Burris and H.P. Sankappanavar have made their book “A Course in Universal Algebra”:http://www.thoralf.uwaterloo.ca/htdocs/ualg.html (originally Springer 1981, now out of print) available for free online. Lots of good stuff on lattices, Boolean algebras, etc. They write:
bq. Feel free to download and print off your own copy. And be sure to tell others that this text is once again available! Colleagues have noted the value of downloading a copy and attaching it to their webpage, especially for the benefit of their students who may not have fast access to this site. Please feel free to do this as well. And it would be appreciated if you put a link to this site, www.thoralf.uwaterloo.ca, on your web page so your students can easily find the other files and interactive programs available here.
“Stanley Burris”:http://www.thoralf.uwaterloo.ca/ indeed has an interesting website with papers and lecture notes. What I find most interesting are his materials on the history of mathematical logic. It has been a plan of mine for a while to dig into the archaeology of semantics, as a fun kind of project. Kind of like what Jeff Miller has done for mathematics with his pages:
- “Earliest Uses of Various Mathematical Symbols”:http://members.aol.com/jeff570/mathsym.html
- “Earliest Known Uses of Some of the Words of Mathematics”:http://members.aol.com/jeff570/mathword.html
Well, that’s what summers are for, right?
