Example text

Thsrefore, although chsnging to communication between machine and man conducted in the latter's native tongue would greatly increase the machine's burden, we have to challenge the assumption that this would simplify man's life. A short look at the history of mathematics shows how justified this challenge is. Greek mathematics got stuck because it remained a verbal, pictorial activity, Moslem "algebra", after a timid attempt at symbolism, died when it returned to the rhetoric style, and the modern civilized world could only emerge --for better o2 for worse-- when Western Europe could free itself from the fetters of medieval scholasticism --a vain attempt st verbal precision~-- thanks to the carefully, or at least consciously designed formal symbolisms that we owe to people like Vista, Descartes, Leibniz, and (later) Boule.

F~nding the correctness proof of a concurrent proqram Edsger WoDijkstra Introduction. In this paper we want to do more than just giving another --be it unusual-- example of the utility of the first-order predicate calculus in proving the correctness of programs. In addition we want to show how, thanks to a systematic use of the first-order predicate calculus, fairly general --almost "syntactic"-- considerations about the formal manipulations involved can provide valuable guidance for the smooth discovery of an otherwise surprising argument.

The majority, with a feeling of relief, however, some left the left the conference some even in a state of great excitement: been admitted at last that we did not know to program well enough. and quite a few others had been waiting eagerly for this moment, it had I myself because now at last something could be done about it. For years we had already been worried by the consequences of the proliferation of error-loaded software, but there is v e r y little point in trying to urge the world to m e n d its ways as long as that world is still convinced that its ways are perfectly adequate.
