Relation Algebras by Roger Duncan Maddux, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

The modern theory of algebras of binary relations, reformulated by Tarski as an abstract, algebraic, equational theory of relation algebras, has considerable mathematical significance, with applications in various fields: e. g., in computer science-databases, specification theory, AI-and in anthropology, economics, physics, and philosophical logic. This comprehensive treatment of the theory of relation algebras and the calculus of relations is the first devoted to a systematic development of the subject. Presents historical milestones from a modern perspectiveCareful, thorough, detailed guide to understanding relation algebrasProvides a framework and unified perspective of the subject | Relation Algebras by Roger Duncan Maddux, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
