Description

J. Richard Biichi is well known for his work in mathematical logic and theoretical computer science. (He himself would have sharply objected to the qualifier "theoretical," because he more or less identified science and theory, using "theory" in a broader sense and "science" in a narrower sense than usual.) We are happy to present here this collection of his papers.

I (DS)1 worked with Biichi for many years, on and off, ever since I did my Ph.D. thesis on his Sequential Calculus. His way was to travel locally, not globally: When we met we would try some specific problem, but rarely dis­ cussed research we had done or might do.

After he died in April 1984 I sifted through the manuscripts and notes left behind and was dumbfounded to see what areas he had been in.

Essentially I knew about his work in finite au­ tomata, monadic second-order theories, and computability.

But here were at least four layers on his writing desk, and evidently he had been working on them all in parallel.

I am sure that many people who knew Biichi would tell an analogous story.
