1. godel

   Kurt Friedrich Gödel ( GUR-dəl, German: [kʊʁt ˈɡøːdl̩] (listen); April 28, 1906 – January 14, 1978) was a logician, mathematician, and philosopher. Considered along with Aristotle and Gottlob Frege to be one of the most significant logicians in history, Gödel had an immense effect upon scientific and philosophical thinking in the 20th century, a time when others such as Bertrand Russell, Alfred North Whitehead, and David Hilbert were using logic and set theory to investigate the foundations of mathematics, building on earlier work by the likes of Richard Dedekind, Georg Cantor and Frege. Gödel's discoveries in the foundations of mathematics led to the proof of Gödel's completeness theorem in 1929 as part of his dissertation to earn a doctorate at the University of Vienna, and the publication of the two Gödel's incompleteness theorems two years later, in 1931. The first incompleteness theorem states that for any ω-consistent recursive axiomatic system powerful enough to describe the arithmetic of the natural numbers (for example, Peano arithmetic), there are true propositions about the natural numbers that can be neither proved nor disproved from the axioms. To prove this, Gödel developed a technique now known as Gödel numbering, which codes formal expressions as natural numbers. The second incompleteness theorem, which follows from the first, states that the system cannot prove its own consistency.Gödel also showed that neither the axiom of choice nor the continuum hypothesis can be disproved from the accepted Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory, assuming that its axioms are consistent. The former result opened the door for mathematicians to assume the axiom of choice in their proofs. He also made important contributions to proof theory by clarifying the connections between classical logic, intuitionistic logic, and modal logic.

   Gödel refers to Kurt Gödel, an Austrian-born mathematician and philosopher. He made significant contributions to several fields, including logic, mathematics, and philosophy. His most famous work includes the "Gödel's incompleteness theorems," which argue that within any self-consistent mathematical system, there are claims that cannot be either proven or disproven. The term "Gödel" is often used to refer to his various concepts, theories, and contributions to his fields.
