Nicolas Rashevsky’s Mathematical Biophysics

This paper explores the work of Nicolas Rashevsky, a Russian émigré theoretical physicist who developed a program in ‘‘mathematical biophysics’’ at the University of Chicago during the 1930s. Stressing the complexity of many biological phenomena, Rashevsky argued that the methods of theoretical physics – namely mathematics – were needed to ‘‘simplify’’ complex biological processes such as cell ...

Book Review: Mathematical Linguistics by Kornai, András

For readers of traditional textbooks such as that of Partee, ter Meulen, and Wall (1990), the term 'mathematical linguistics' denotes a rather narrowly circumscribed set of issues including automata theory, set theory, and lambda calculus, with maybe a little formal language theory thrown in. Kornai's contribution is refreshingly different in that he treats, in this relatively compact volume, p...
