As part of the 15th Congress of Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science (<a href=\"http:\/\/clmps.helsinki.fi\">CLMPS 2015<\/a>), FoLLI organizes an Affiliated Meeting on the legacy of Joachim Lambek. Talks at the meeting will present current research in the various areas where the impact of Lambek\u2019s work can be felt, and highlight some remarkable convergences of methods and techniques across these fields, linking category theory, deductive systems, and models of computation.<\/p>\n<p>The meeting consists of two parts.<\/p>\n<p>I. Foundations: logic, mathematics<\/p>\n<p>The first part of the meeting is devoted to the impact of Jim Lambek&#8217;s foundational ideas on category theory, algebra, logic, proof theory and the theory of computation on current work in these areas.<\/p>\n<p>II. Applications: physics, linguistics<\/p>\n<p>In his latest book, From Rules of Grammar to Laws of Nature (2014), Jim Lambek&#8217;s interests in the application of mathematical ideas range from the grammatical analysis of natural languages to the use of quaternions in special relativistic quantum mechanics. The second part of the meeting is devoted to current work on resource-logical themes in theoretical physics and formal linguistics, and the connections between these two disciplines via shared categorical structures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FoLLI Affiliated Meeting @ CLMPS, August 4, 2015 Organizers Michael Moortgat, Utrecht University Philip Scott, University of Ottawa Confirmed speakers Steve Awodey, Carnegie Mellon University Wojciech Buszkowski, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznan Claudia Casadio, University of Chieti Robin Cockett, University of Calgary Bob Coecke, University of Oxford Kosta Dosen, Mathematical Institute, Serbian Academy of Sciences and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-197","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/folli.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/folli.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/folli.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/folli.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/folli.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=197"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/folli.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":200,"href":"https:\/\/folli.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197\/revisions\/200"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/folli.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=197"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/folli.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=197"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/folli.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=197"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
