Preface to Transcending Conventional Studies of Information and Computation: Dedicated to the Memory of Mark Burgin: This book stands as a tribute to the memory of our late colleague, Professor Mark Burgin, whose recent departure has left a profound void in our academic community. Within the pages of this volume, we present a collection of reprints featuring Professor Burgin’s articles, previously published in MDPI venues, including journals Information, Entropy, Philosophies, Big Data and Cognitive Computing, and Proceedings. Mark Burgin was a highly respected figure in the academic world, renowned for his exceptional contributions as a mathematician, computer scientist, and information theoretician. His profound impact resonated across a diverse spectrum of fields, encompassing the domains of information and computation, foundations of mathematics, philosophy of information and computation, theory of knowledge, and logic. |
Professor Burgin’s intellectual prowess and groundbreaking research have left an indelible mark on numerous scholarly endeavors, offering novel insights into information-based phenomena. Through his interdisciplinary approach, he bridged gaps between disparate disciplines, instigating fresh connections, approaches, and applications that have profoundly enriched the advancement of these specialized domains.
With this volume, we pay homage to the enduring legacy of Mark Burgin, commemorating his remarkable career and intellectual achievements. It is our aspiration that this compendium shall serve as a testament to his invaluable contributions and will inspire future generations of scholars to engage in rigorous research within the very fields that were enriched by his exceptional scholarship.
