If you have a question about this talk, please contact Richard Garner.

I will present a mathematical methodology for the synthesis of equational deduction systems that are sound and internally complete for a canonical algebraic model theory; see [1].

As a running example, I will indicate how the methodology applies to rationally reconstruct the traditional equational logic of universal algebra from categorical principles; see [3 (Part I)].

As for a modern application, I will use the methodology to synthesise a second-order equational logic for specifying simple type theories; see [2 (Part I)] and [3 (Part II)].

This is joint work with Chung-Kil Hur.
