Jerzy Słupecki

Jerzy Słupecki (1904–1987) was a Polish mathematician and logician.

Jerzy Słupecki

Life

He attended the seminar of, and wrote a 1938 doctorate under, Jan Łukasiewicz.[1][2]

During WWII he was active in Żegota.[3]

In 1963, when at Wroclaw University, where he had been since 1945, he became editor of Studia Logica.[4][5]

Works

Słupecki showed how the many-valued logics of Łukasiewicz could be included in the theory of Post systems, and gave a functionally complete version of the three-valued logic.[6] In the logic of categorical sentences, he found a rule that made the theory decidable;[7] his work on Aristotle's logic, from 1948, was later reprinted in French.[8]

He also continued the work of Stanisław Leśniewski, and wrote on his system ("protothetics") in 1953, in Studia Logica.[9][10] A survey, "The Logical Works of Jerzy Slupecki", appeared in Studia Logica XLVIII (1989), by Jan Woleński and Jan Zygmunt.[11]

He published:

  • Z zagadnień logiki i filozofii: pisma wybrane (1961, editor), selected works of Jan Łukasiewicz[12]
  • Elements of Mathematical Logic and Set Theory (1967)[13]

gollark: Examples of use:```You are like 3 (three) apioforms.What even is an apioform?Alright, apioforms.Ideatic chronoapioforms in meta-ubqvian space.That idea is isomorphic to 34 apioforms!games and other programs that are apioformic to run on linux or openbds.It graphs apioform concentration (including retroactively) over time.anyway "lyric make macron" would make a fine sequel to beware apioforms and "fixing ewo" yesapioforms are form-suffixed apios```
gollark: > Derived from the Latin "apis" (bee) and "forma" (figure), "apioform" can be used as an insult, compliment, random placeholder, or for any purpose whatsoever. Mostly used in the context of esoteric programming languages, somehow. The word can be expanded by inserting or prepending prefixes such as "cryo", "pyro", "chrono", "contra" or "meta", e.g. "cryoapiocontraform", to convey additional meaning. An older form was "apiohazard", for hazardous apioforms, but this has fallen out of use.
gollark: An apioform is most accurately described as an apioform with apioformic characteristics.
gollark: Anime but in the category of endofunctors WHEN?
gollark: Oh dëär.
