Kurt Gödel(Q41390) is an Austrian-American logician, mathematician, and philosopher of mathematics (1906-1978).
Kurt Gödel was an Austrian logician, mathematician, and philosopher. He is best known for his incompleteness theorems, which he proved in 1931. These theorems state that any formal axiomatic system that is powerful enough to express the basic principles of arithmetic will necessarily contain statements that are true, but cannot be proven within the system. Gödel's incompleteness theorems have important implications for the foundations of mathematics, as well as for the limits of formal systems in general. In addition to his work on incompleteness, Gödel also made important contributions to the fields of set theory, constructivism, and modal logic. He is considered to be one of the most significant logicians and mathematicians of the 20th century.
