But he was also very active in historical research on logic, giving a new and up-to-date interpretation of Aristotle's syllogism and of the Stoics' propositional calculus. His activity is strictly connected to the school founded by Kazimierz Twardowski, whose first pupil he was in Lvov . Maybe less known, but very significant, was his philosophical reflection about science and the role that creativity plays in the invention of theories, regarding which he followed an anti-inductive attitude in many aspects similar to Popper's conceptions.

46. Notatu Dignum : 26 02 2004 : Jan Lukasiewicz A carefully selected quotation by jan lukasiewicz. http://www.notatu-dignum.com/040226.htm

The principle of contradiction has, to be sure, no logical worth, since it is valid only as an assumption; but as a consequence it carries a practical-ethical value , which is all the more important. The principle of contradiction is the sole weapon against error and falsehood Were we not to recognize this principle and hold joint assertion and denial to be possible, then we could not defend other propositions against false or deceitful propositions. One falsely accused of murder could find no means to prove his innocence before the court. At most, he could only manage to prove that he had committed no murder; this negative truth cannot, however, remove its contradictory positive from the world, if the principle of contradiction fails. If just one witness is found who (not shirking from committing perjury) implicates the accused, his false assertion can in no what be contradicted and the defendant is irretrievably lost.

Jan Keresztes and Ronald Lukasiewicz Receive 2000 Lillian D. Terris Award For Distinguished Board Service New York, NY, March 2001 - Professional Examination Service (PES) is pleased to announce the selection of Jan M. Keresztes, Pharm.D., and Ronald H. Lukasiewicz, R.Ph., as the recipients of the 2000 Lillian D. Terris Award for Distinguished Board Service. Named in honor of the first president of PES, the award recognizes individuals whose service contributions have enhanced the public and professional understanding of the missions of credentialing organizations and the meaning associated with professional credentials. Keresztes served as a member of the Certification Council of the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB) from 1995 to 1999, including one year as Chair of the Council. Prior to her work with the PTCB, she was Chair of the Commission on Technician Certification for the Illinois Council of Health-System Pharmacists (ICHP) state certification program from 1982 to 1989. As Chair, she helped establish the ICHP pharmacy technician certification examination and was vital in the merging of the ICHP state examination with other state examinations into what was to become the premier national examination for pharmacy technicians in the United States. Lukasiewicz served a member of the PTCB Certification Council from 1995 to 2000, including a two-year term as Chair of the Council. Prior to his work with the PTCB, Lukasiewicz served as Chair of the Board of Examiners for the Michigan Certified Pharmacy Technician Program from 1981 to 1989. Working with the Michigan Pharmacist Association (MPA), he instituted the first certification program for pharmacy technicians and the first textbook for the training of pharmacy technicians. Under the leadership of Lukasiewicz, the MPA became one of the founding sponsors of the PTCB.

The rest of his work had been lost for over eleven centuries and later found.[ WAL ] Most of Aristotle's work is probably not authentic, since it was most likely edited by students and later lecturers.[ BI ] The order in which the books were written is not certain. But some probable order is given, this order is given on analysis of the texts and styles, and references by Aristotle.[ BI ] The logical works of Aristotle were compiled in about 1 B.C.E..

The Museum of HP Calculators Contents: What is RPN? Why Did/Does HP Use RPN? Learning RPN What is RPN? In the 1920's, Jan Lukasiewicz developed a formal logic system which allowed mathematical expressions to be specified without parentheses by placing the operators before (prefix notation) or after (postfix notation) the operands. For example the (infix notation) expression could be expressed in prefix notation as and could be expressed in postfix notation as Prefix notation also came to be known as Polish Notation in honor of Lukasiewicz. HP adjusted the postfix notation for a calculator keyboard, added a stack to hold the operands and functions to reorder the stack. HP dubbed the result Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) also in honor of Lukasiewicz. Why Did/Does HP Use RPN? In the years that followed, computer scientists realized that RPN or postfix notation was very efficient for computer math. As a postfix expression is scanned from left to right, operands are simply placed into a last-in, first-out (LIFO) stack and operators may be immediately applied to the operands at the bottom of the stack. By contrast, expressions with parentheses and precedence (infix notation) require that operators be delayed until some later point. Thus, the compilers on on almost all modern computers converted statements to RPN for execution. (In fact, some computer manufacturers designed their computers around postfix notation.) At the time that the HP-35 was introduced, other pocket calculators typically used a partial algebraic model. That meant they could evaluate trivial expressions like 4+5 but couldn't handle anything that involved parentheses or algebraic precedence. The technology of the time didn't allow for full algebraic compilers in pocket calculators.

home send comment send link add bookmark Using Reverse Polish (Postfix) Notation by Stephen R. Schmitt Introduction Several conventions exist for the evaluation of arithmetic expressions. The rules of algebra have been used for centuries and is familiar to most everyone. In the 1920's, Jan Lukasiewicz developed a formal logic system which allowed mathematical expressions to be specified without parentheses by placing the operators before (prefix notation) or after (postfix notation) the operands. Prefix notation is known as Polish Notation after the nationality of Lukasiewicz. Similarly, postfix notation is known as Reverse Polish Notation (RPN). In algebra, or infix notation, operators appears between operands: In prefix notation, operators precede operands: In postfix notation operators follow operands: RPN is easily implemented in a computer since it can be performed using a data structure called a stack. In a stack, objects are added to the top and removed from the top. This is sometimes called last-in, first-out or LIFO. As a postfix expression is read from left to right, operands are placed on top of the stack. Operators are applied to the operands at the top of the stack. RPN algorithm A stack-based algorithm for evaluation of postfix expressions is: Get a token (operator or operand) from the input text.
