Hardcover. Condition: Very Good condition. Dust Jacket Condition: Poor - Good dust jackets. First Edition. Groningen / Amsterdam: Erven P. Noordhoff N.V. / North Holland Publishing Co., 1954. Complete 3 volume set. Very Good or better condition in Poor - Good dust jackets. Each volume is clean, square, and bound in the original maroon cloth, stamped in gold on the spine and front cover. Inner hinges in volumes 2 and 3 are cracked, but still holding. Only one of the plain paper Dust Jackets (vol. I) is Good; the other two are Poor, separated at the spine with edge tears. All pages are clean and unmarked. Volumes II and III appeared in 1954 and 1956, respectively. Volume I was published last, in 1957. This set was among several dozen books from Alonzo Church's library that we were lucky enough to purchase at auction in New Jersey. Several of the books contain his signature, or a presentation inscription to him. Unfortunately, these volumes do not have signs of his ownership. [But please check our inventory for several others that do]. Alonzo Church (1903 - 1995) was professor of mathematics at Princeton University (1929-1967) and of mathematics and philosophy at UCLA (1967-1990). He was the founding editor of the JOURNAL OF SYMBOLIC LOGIC. Among his most influential contributions are Church's Theorem, Church's Thesis, and the Lambda Calculus. His work was of major importance in mathematical logic, recursion theory, theoretical computer science, and functional programming languages in general. Professor Church's creation of lambda calculus was the foundation for the LISP programming language and provided the semantic model for ALGOL. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences, British Academy, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Church is regarded by many as the greatest American logician of the 20th century. [For more on Church's contributions, see items 250, 251, 321, 394, and 533 in Hook and Norman's ORIGINS OF CYBERSPACE, A LIBRARY ON THE HISTORY OF COMPUTING.] . First Edition. Hardcover.
