This book was released on 2000-01-21 with total page 1680 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Automated reasoning programs are successfully tackling challenging problems in mathematics and logic, program verification, and circuit design. This two-volume book includes all the published papers of Dr Larry Wos, one of the world's pioneers in automated reasoning. It provides a wealth of information for students, teachers, researchers, and even historians of computer science about this rapidly growing field.The book has the following special features:(1) It presents the strategies introduced by Wos which have made automated reasoning a practical tool for solving challenging puzzles and deep problems in mathematics and logic;(2) It provides a history of the field — from its earliest stages as mechanical theorem proving to its broad base now as automated reasoning;(3) It illustrates some of the remarkable successes automated reasoning programs have had in tackling challenging problems in mathematics, logic, program verification, and circuit design;(4) It includes a CD-ROM, with a searchable index of all the papers, enabling readers to peruse the papers easily for ideas.
