Reasoning in Simple Type Theory

Reasoning in Simple Type Theory is a collection of papers that
includes reprints of eight seminal papers in this area as well as
thirteen new contributed articles. For the reprints we have chosen a
paper by Alonzo Church (introducing his simple theory of types), a
paper by Leon Henkin (proving completeness of Church's type theory
relative to Henkin's semantics) and some of the most important papers
by Peter Andrews. The new articles were contributed by Peter Andrews
and his students and collaborators as well as a number of researchers
his work has influenced. The volume intends to show the historical
development of this important area of formal reasoning up to its
current state of art and appears in honor of Peter Andrews on his 70th
birthday.
