- However, there are now - or will be shortly - some comprehensive
- texts reflecting the state of the art of the subject:
-
- 1. The proceedings of the conference on algebraic logic, Budapest 1988,
- Coll Math Soc Janos Bolyai 54
-
- 2. The proceedings of the logic semester at the Banach Center, Warsaw,
- Banach Center Publ 28, to appear 1993, as well as special issue of
- Fund Inf
-
- 3. Istvan Nemeti's survey article "Algebraizations of quantifier logics,
- an introductory overview", now in its 11th version,
- to appear in Studia Logica.
-
- And don't forget Rasiowa & Sikorski "The mathematics of metamathematics",
- quite old but still rather useful and good to read (though
- others may think differently).
