The Association for Symbolic Logic (ASL) is an international organization of specialists in mathematical logic and philosophical logic. The ASL was founded in 1936 and its first president was Alonzo Church. The current president of the ASL is Alasdair Urquhart.
The ASL publishes books and academic journals. Its three official journals are
In addition, the ASL has a sponsored journal,
The organization played a part in publishing the collected writings of Kurt Gödel.
The ASL holds two main meetings every year, one in the United States and one in Europe (the latter known as the Logic Colloquium). In addition, the ASL regularly holds joint meetings with both the American Mathematical Society ("AMS") and the American Philosophical Association ("APA"), and sponsors meetings in many different countries every year.
The association periodically presents a number of prizes and awards.
The Karp Prize is awarded by the association every five years for an outstanding paper or book in the field of symbolic logic. It consists of a cash award and was established in 1973 in memory of Professor Carol Karp.
