Workshop: Non-Classical [Meta]mathematics, February 7-8

 

Topic: Non-classical mathematics is maths done using non-classical logic. The goal of this event is to understand the model theory and proof theory of non-classical maths, using non-classical maths. It will be a meeting of the minds from several different backgrounds, with tutorial presentations on the current state-of-play in respective logics.

Zach Weber -`Paraconsistent Mathematics and Beyond

Petr Cintula (Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic)`From Fuzzy Logic to Fuzzy Mathematics'

Hitoshi Omori (City University of New York)`Steps towards non-classical mathematics based on the ideas of da Costa and Priest'
