The papers in general arose from the conference, "Logical Methods in Mathematics and Computer Science. A Symposium in Honor of Anil Nerode on the Occasion of his Sixtieth Birthday", held at the Mathematical Sciences Institute at Cornell University, from June 1-3, 1992.

Summary
The twenty-six papers in this volume reflect the wide and still expanding range of Anil Nerode's work. Recursive model theory is the subject of papers by Hird, Moses, and Khoussainov & Dadajanov, while a combinatorial problem in recursive model theory is discussed in Cherlin & Martin's paper.
