Description

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.

Key Features

  • Presents historical milestones from a modern perspective
  • Careful, thorough, detailed guide to understanding relation algebras
  • Provides a framework and unified perspective of the subject

Readership

Reviews

"An indispensable tool for scholars and research workers in mathematics and the mathematical sciences." --Mathmatical Reviews, 2007

"The book is an introduction to the calculus of relations and the theory of relation algebras (r.a.s): the reader need not have any preliminary knowledge of the subject… [T]he book contains very extensive material (the bibliography, in particular) both on relation algebras and from related areas and may serve as a handbook for a researcher." --ZentralblattMATH
