<h1>A Study of Linguistics: Representation and Exchange of Knowledge</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p><em>This started in January 1996 as a history of the seminal works in
|
|
automated knowledge exchange, but I have recently abandoned any attempt to be
|
|
objective and reorganized it as my personal study of knowledge exchange: how I
|
|
came to know what I know about formal systems, knowledge representation,
|
|
linuguistics, dynamical systems, and the Web.</em></p>

<dt>1986 Fall, U.T. Austin</dt>
|
|
<dd>started persuing my C.S. degree at U.T. Austin with <a
|
|
href="http://www.la.utexas.edu/course-materials/philosophy/koons/313k/">Logic,
|
|
Sets and Functions</a>. Learned about Russel's paradox (p. 214 of <a
|
|
href="#Bonevac86">[Bonevac86]</a>), <a href="#PM">Principia</a> and
|
|
such.
|
|
<p>A student in the dorm loaned me a copy of <a href="#GEB">GEB</a>,
|
|
where I got my first exposure to the <a href="#peano-postulates">Peano
|
|
Postulates</a> (to appear again in Algebra@@) and learned to grok <a
|
|
href="knowledge.html#Godel31">Godel's incompleteness theorem</a>. The
|
|
first blow.</p>
|
|
<p>really good calculus instructor, text [<a
|
|
href="knowledge.html#Spivak67">Spivak</a>]:</p>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
Every aspect of this book was influenced by the desire to present
|
|
calculus not merely as a prelude to but as the first real encounter
|
|
with mathematics. Since the foundation of analysis provided the arena
|
|
in which modern modes of mathematical thinking developed, calculus
|
|
ought to be the place in which to expect, rather than avoid, the
|
|
strengthening of insight with logic. In addition to developing the
|
|
students' intuition about the beautiful concepts of analysis, it is
|
|
surely equally important to persuade them that precision and rigor are
|
|
neither deterrents to intuition, nor ends in themselves, but the
|
|
natural medium in which to formulate and think about mathematical
|
|
questions.</blockquote>
