Abstract

I would like to start my tenure as editor of the Logic Column by thanking Jon Riecke, who has edited this column since 1998. The Logic Column serves as a showcase of the many connections between logic and computer science. Logic has been connected with computer science since the early days of Turing. In the past few decades, logical methods have had a considerable impact. To get a sense of the range of applications, consider the 2001 NSF/CISE Workshop on The Unusual Effectiveness of Logic in Computer Science (see http: //www. cs. rice. edu/~vardi/logic/). An article derived from the workshop appeared in the Bulletin of Symbolic Logic [Halpern et al. 2001], and it is an exceedingly good read. If you get a copy of that issue of the Bulletin, make sure to also have a look at the article by Buss et al. [2001], which discusses the current state of mathematical logic.
