This meeting is by invitation only (if interested contact Maarten McKubre-Jordens).

Information:

This meeting was aimed at fostering the exchange of ideas between various disciplines; emphasizing links between mathematics, computer science, philosophy and statistics.

Tutorials and talks on various aspects of non-classical logics were run, with a view to using these aspects in other areas of research. Talks generally ran for about an hour, with a generous period of discussion and questions following. Thanks to the wide-ranging nature of the research interests of the group, this format proved to be very conducive to generating cross-disciplinary ideas and constructive critique. Participants also had the opportunity to explore the seal colony near Westport and walked from the colony to the lighthouse.

Talks:

  • Epistemologically valid statistical experiments: an example with a measurable double pendulum (Raazesh Sainudiin)
  • Constructive methods in mathematics (Maarten McKubre-Jordens)
  • What's the Deal with Relevance? An Introduction to Relevant Logic (Ed Mares)
  • Paraconsistent mathematics (Zach Weber)
  • A constructive approach to the complexity of mathematical problems (Cris & Elena Calude)
  • Topological Logic (Nick Duncan)

Participants:

Ty Baen, Bruce Burdick, Cristian & Elena Calude, James Dent, Nick Duncan, Edwin Mares, Maarten McKubre-Jordens, Igor Rychkov, Raazesh Sainudiin, Zach Weber, and Ruriko Yoshida. (ordered alphabetically)
