The first meeting of this semester’s seminar in the history and philosophy of mathematics will take place on Monday, September 19^th from 3 to 4 PM in Avery 202 on the Pitzer Campus (and on zoom). We will spend the time sharing ideas for future meetings and discussing the chapter on “Algebraic Logic” (chapter 9) in Lukas Verburgt’s new book on John Venn: A Life in Logic (a historical book on a philosophical mathematician).
