Association for Symbolic Logic
- Association for Symbolic Logic
The Association for Symbolic Logic ("ASL") is an international organization of specialists in mathematical logic and philosophical logic—the largest such organization in the world. The ASL was founded in 1936, a crucial year in the development of modern logic, and its first president was Alonzo Church. The ASL holds two main meetings every year, one in the United States and one in Europe (the latter known as the "Logic Colloquium"). In addition, the ASL regularly holds joint meetings with both the American Mathematical Society ("AMS") and the American Philosophical Association ("APA") and it sponsors meetings in many different countries every year.
The ASL publishes books and academic journals. Its official journals are the "Journal of Symbolic Logic" and the "Bulletin of Symbolic Logic"; ASL also has editorial responsibility for the "Journal of Philosophical Logic". The organization has also played an important role in publishing the collected writings of Kurt Gödel.
