Heyting algebra
In mathematics, a Heyting algebra is a bounded lattice (with join and meet operations written ∨ and ∧ and with least element 0 and greatest element 1) equipped with a binary operation "a" → "b" of "implication" such that "c" ∧ "a" ≤ "b" is equivalent to "c" ≤ "a" → "b". From a logical standpoint, "A" → "B" is by this definition the weakest proposition for which modus ponens, the inference rule "A" → "B", "A" ⊢ "B", is sound. Equivalently a Heyting algebra is a residuated lattice whose monoid operation "a"⋅"b" is "a" ∧ "b"; yet another definition is as a posetal cartesian closed category with all finite sums.

The oldest traces of human occupation in Paris, discovered in 2008 near the Rue Henri-Farman in the 15th arrondissement, are human bones and evidence of an encampment of hunter-gatherers dating from about 8000 BC, during the Mesolithic period. Between 250 and 225 BC, the Parisii, a sub-tribe of the Celtic Senones, settled on the Île de la Cité and on the banks of the Seine, built bridges and a fort, minted coins, and began to trade with other river settlements in Europe. In 52 BC, a Roman army led by Titus Labienus defeated the Parisii and established a Gallo-Roman garrison town called Lutetia.
