Two episodes in the unification of logic and topology (1985)

unapi

Description The author argues that “growth in mathematical knowledge often results when two or more distinct but related fields are unified by the hypothesis of a partial structural analogy, which allows for the combination of their resources in the solution and discovery of problems.” The author draws from two examples, the work of Alfred Tarski and W.H. Stone on Boolean algebra during the 1920s and 30s, and the “Borel heirarchy” developed by Borel, et al., at the turn of the century.
