Relation algebras.
The modern theory of algebras of binary relations, reformulated by Tarski as an abstract, algebraic, equational theory of relation algebras, has considerable mathematical significance, with applications in various fields: e.g., in computer science---databases, specification theory, AI---and in anthropology, economics, physics, and philosophical logic. This comprehensive treatment of the theory of relation algebras and the calculus of relations is the first devoted to a systematic development of the subject. Key Features: - Presents historical milestones from a modern perspective - Careful, thorough, detailed guide to understanding relation algebras - Provides a framework and unified perspective of the subject.
