Scientific ideas & Progress

Universal descriptive logics were discovered; classical problems of existence, unambiguity, description of all descriptive logics were solved. Logic-mathematical basis of new direction of informatics, namely programmology, was founded. This direction synthesized main ideas of logic, descriptive mathematics and informatics on common conceptual base. Main logic-mathematical problems were solved; some of them were open during more than 50 years. Scientific results of V. N. Red'ko, which constitute the basis of programmology, were included into many monographs and books.
