   The man who saved geometry: the multidimensional mind of Donald Coxeter
Roberts S., PRINCETON UNIVERSITY PRESS, Princeton, NJ, 2024. 416 pp.  Type: Book (9780691264745)

“Thanks, I needed that!” I hasten to ask forgiveness for setting a seemingly frivolous tone in this review of a biography that far transcends the cradle-to-grave story of a great mathematician--as well told as that story is in thi...

   Simple type theory: a practical logic for expressing and reasoning about mathematical ideas
Farmer W., BIRKHAUSER, Basel, Switzerland, 2023. 312 pp.  Type: Book (3031211138)

What has evolved from the famous century-old (Bertrand) Russell paradox and Russell’s consequent theory of types needs, in my opinion, all the useful elaboration, clarification, explication, and explanation that it can get. Any nontrivial ex...

  Block Walsh-Hadamard transform based binary layers in deep neural networks
Pan H., Badawi D., Cetin A. ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems 1(1): 1-26, 2022.  Type: Article

Convolution is a mathematical operation that calculates the integral of the product of two functions or signals with one of the signals flipped. Modern deep neural networks consider convolution as the core operation; it is a technique for function...

   A first journey through logic
Hils M., Loeser F., AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY, Providence, RI, 2019. 185 pp.  Type: Book (978-1-470452-72-8)

I have, for years and to largely underwhelmed ears, preached without portfolio the risk of treating connotation as denotation. So “first journey” in this book’s title indicated, to me, a not-especially-deep ...
