A mathematical life. (English) Zbl 1396.03003

Czelakowski, Janusz (ed.), Don Pigozzi on abstract algebraic logic, universal algebra, and computer science. Cham: Springer (ISBN 978-3-319-74771-2/hbk; 978-3-319-74772-9/ebook). Outstanding Contributions to Logic 16, 1-51 (2018).
Summary: Here is the story of my forty years as a professional algebraist and logician and also as a computer science dilettante. It is divided into seven parts chronologically. Each part begins with a narrative in which I describe my relationship with mentors, colleagues, collaborators, and students, often in very personal terms.
For the entire collection see [Zbl 1390.03005].
