NONSTANDARD LOGICS AND NONSTANDARD METRICS IN PHYSICS
by W M Honig (Curtin University, Australia)
This book presents two new mathematical techniques: nonstandard logics and nonstandard metrics. The techniques are applied to current problems in physics, i.e. the hidden variable problem, the local and nonlocal problems, etc.

Readership: Physicists and mathematicians.
"Honig's ideas are original, radical, and worthy of discussion and testing ... Unorthodox and strange ideas have often been a stimulus for the progress of science."
