Mathematician Hermann Weyl's philosophy of mathematics is a rich source of original and sophisticated ideas that remain highly relevant to contemporary debates in the field. Despite this, Weyl's philosophical insights on the foundation of mathematics remain largely overlooked.Pillars of Enduring Strength brings renewed attention to Weyl's profound insights, demonstrating their enduring significance and potential to illuminate ongoing discussions in both philosophy and mathematical logic. With contributions from leading scholars, this volume examines the tenets of his philosophical legacy. The first part of the volume has contributors delve into Weyl's philosophy of mathematics. It locates Weyl in a rich mathematical and philosophical context and highlights the depth and complexity of Weyl's thinking, particularly his efforts to reconcile intuition with logical and symbolic construction, and his engagement with phenomenology and the nature of mathematical truth. The second part of the volume has contributors turn to the influence of Weyl's ideas on contemporary mathematical logic. It focuses especially on developments related to Weyl's predicativism, tracing how his foundational concerns have evolved and been reinterpreted in modern contexts. Together, contributors offer a fresh look at Weyl's enduring influence on mathematical logic and philosophy.

Constructive mathematics - mathematics in which 'there exists' always means 'we can construct' - is enjoying a renaissance. fifty years on from Bishop's groundbreaking account of constructive analysis, constructive mathematics has spread out to touch almost all areas of mathematics and to have profound influence in theoretical computer science. This handbook gives the most complete overview of modern constructive mathematics, with contributions from leading specialists surveying the subject's myriad aspects. Major themes include: constructive algebra and geometry, constructive analysis, constructive topology, constructive logic and foundations of mathematics, and computational aspects of constructive mathematics. A series of introductory chapters provides graduate students and other newcomers to the subject with foundations for the surveys that follow. Edited by four of the most eminent experts in the field, this is an indispensable reference for constructive mathematicians and a fascinating vista of modern constructivism for the increasing number of researchers interested in constructive approaches.

This book on proof theory centers around the legacy of Kurt Schütte and its current impact on the subject. Schütte inaugurated the important paradigm shift from finite proofs to infinite proofs and developed the mathematical tools for their analysis.

Gerhard Gentzen has been described as logic’s lost genius, whom Gödel called a better logician than himself. This work comprises articles by leading proof theorists, attesting to Gentzen’s enduring legacy to mathematical logic and beyond. The contributions range from philosophical reflections and re-evaluations of Gentzen’s original consistency proofs to the most recent developments in proof theory. Gentzen founded modern proof theory. His sequent calculus and natural deduction system beautifully explain the deep symmetries of logic. They underlie modern developments in computer science such as automated theorem proving and type theory.

The overall topic of the volume, Mathematics for Computation (M4C), is mathematics taking crucially into account the aspect of computation, investigating the interaction of mathematics with computation, bridging the gap between mathematics and computation wherever desirable and possible, and otherwise explaining why not.Recently, abstract mathematics has proved to have more computational content than ever expected. Indeed, the axiomatic method, originally intended to do away with concrete computations, seems to suit surprisingly well the programs-from-proofs paradigm, with abstraction helping not only clarity but also efficiency.Unlike computational mathematics, which rather focusses on objects of computational nature such as algorithms, the scope of M4C generally encompasses all the mathematics, including abstract concepts such as functions. The purpose of M4C actually is a strongly theory-based and therefore, is a more reliable and sustainable approach to actual computation, up to the systematic development of verified software.While M4C is situated within mathematical logic and the related area of theoretical computer science, in principle it involves all branches of mathematics, especially those which prompt computational considerations. In traditional terms, the topics of M4C include proof theory, constructive mathematics, complexity theory, reverse mathematics, type theory, category theory and domain theory.The aim of this volume is to provide a point of reference by presenting up-to-date contributions by some of the most active scholars in each field. A variety of approaches and techniques are represented to give as wide a view as possible and promote cross-fertilization between different styles and traditions.
