Draft books

Kaleidoscoop van termherschrijfsystemen

This book draft is a syllabus in Dutch for a course in term rewriting systems, given in 2005,  at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, by site author and Clemens Grabmayer in a most pleasant cooperation for a small group of most pleasant students. It could or should evolve to a book on the subject, but other unfinished draft books have priority.

The Tribute nr 51 of 282 pages is published by College Publications.

The title of CP Tribute 51 is:

The inclusion of my chapter here is a slightly corrected and extended version of 2023 in the CP Tribute 51 as mentioned. In particular an extra Appendix is included, elaborating a passage about confluence by completion and ‘orefication’ in the main story.

NB: This story is not a paper, but an informal graphic novel! It was written, and drawn, in 2022.
