Griffiths) was a British mathematician known for his contributions to mathematical logic and the foundations of mathematics. Born in the early 20th century, Griffiths became an influential figure in the study of set theory, algebra, and mathematical structures. His work focused on the formalization of mathematical systems and the application of logical methods to solve problems in pure mathematics. Griffiths was particularly interested in the ways in which abstract mathematical concepts could be applied to real-world situations, and he made several important contributions to the field of mathematical logic. He taught at various academic institutions and was a part of the mathematical community that was deeply engaged in discussions around the philosophy and foundations of mathematics during the mid-20th century. Griffiths' work has had a lasting impact on the development of modern mathematics, especially in areas where logic and abstract algebra intersect. A. G. Howson (Arthur G. Howson) was a British mathematician whose work spanned areas including algebra, geometry, and mathematical education. Known for his ability to present complex mathematical ideas in accessible and engaging ways, Howson contributed both to pure mathematical research and to the teaching of mathematics. His academic career included a significant role in the development of mathematical education and the promotion of mathematical literacy. Howson was involved in various educational initiatives and was dedicated to enhancing the understanding of mathematics at all levels, from basic concepts to advanced theories. In addition to his research in algebra and geometry, Howson was also known for his clear expository writing, which made complex topics more approachable for students and readers. Throughout his career, he played an important role in shaping the landscape of mathematical learning in the UK and beyond. ; 22.7 x 15.2 x 20.5 cms. Very Good- with no dust jacket .
