Logic

Bertrand Russell born May18, 1872 Trellech, Monmouthshire, UK.   His work has had a considerable influence on logic, mathematics, set theory, linguistics, computer science, and philosophy.  He said,"A stupid man's report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand."


Logic is little tweeting bird chirping in meadow. Logic is wreath of pretty flowers that smell bad. --Spock in 'I, Mudd'
