ISA Research Committee on Logic
At the RC33 Board meeting in Toronto in July 2018 I gave a brief update on the RC33 website that was launched in 2017 and asked for feedback from the audience. Someone mentioned that the blog section was empty and that it would be good to have regular news from RC33. I’m pleased to report […]
