The event organized in collaboration with the Logic Association, the Association of Mathematicians, and the Atatürk Cultural Center was held at MAKÜ Prof. Dr. İlhan Varank Library between October 16–18.
Broadly attended academic meeting
The event took place with the participation of academics and students from many universities, primarily the Istanbul University Logic Application and Research Center, MAKÜ Mathematics and Philosophy Departments, Istanbul Topkapı University Philosophy Department, and Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University Mathematics Department.
During the three-day program, fundamental discussion areas of the philosophy of mathematics in the 20th century, such as ‘Foundations of Mathematics: Formalism, Logicism, and Intuitionism,’ were addressed. In addition, topics like set theories, semantics, proof theory, recursive function theory, multi-valued logics, modal logic, and intuitionistic logic were also at the center of presentations and discussions.
“A valuable opportunity for young researchers”
Rector Prof. Dr. Hüseyin Dalgar, who visited the workshop, said in his speech
“As members of a belief whose first command is ‘read’ and one of its fundamental calls is ‘do you not reason?’, we are very pleased to host such a workshop that discusses the principles of correct thinking, reasoning, and meaning-making. I am happy to see that an academic interaction environment that broadens horizons has been created for our young researchers and students, especially at this event where two fields representing the clearest horizons of the human mind, logic and mathematics, meet. I sincerely thank all our professors, organizing committees, and contributing participants who have contributed to this important beginning.” he said.
A strong step in scientific collaboration
This first workshop in Turkey that brings together the disciplines of logic and mathematics was considered an important academic step in its field. Participants stated that they had a productive three days with both scientific presentations and exchanges of ideas.
