Best known for his Incompleteness Theorem, Kurt Gödel (1906-1978) is considered one of the most important mathematicians and logicians of the 20th century. By showing that the establishment of a set of axioms encompassing all of mathematics would never succeed, he revolutionized the world of mathematics, logic, and philosophy. Here's a sampling from the archives of our favorite interviews on Gödel. Shaking Up Foundations Of Math: Roger Penrose On Kurt Gödel’s Groundbreaking Work Read...

GREAT LIVES SERIES  Kurt Gödel was one of the most important mathematicians and logicians of modern times. He is best known for his incompleteness theorems—perhaps the most celebrated proofs in modern logic—which had a profound impact on scientific and philosophical thought, and helped define the postmodern era. In Simply Gödel, professor Richard Tieszen explains Gödel’s most significant ideas in clear and simple language, and presents an engaging and insightful portrait of a man who “walked and talked on equal terms with Einstein.”  Learn More...
