Gödel: "Every error is due to extraneous factors (such as emotion and education); reason itself does not err." Solomon Feferman: "Gödel published comparatively little, but almost always to maximum effect; his papers are models of precision and incisive presentation." Ernst G. Strauss: "[Einstein and Gödel] shared a fundamental quality: both went directly and wholeheartedly to the questions at the very center of things." Gödel: "The more I think about language, the more it amazes me that people ever understand each other at all.” Jim Holt: "Gödel entered the University of Vienna in 1924. He had intended to study physics, but he was soon seduced by the beauties of mathematics, and especially by the notion that abstractions like numbers and circles had a perfect, timeless existence independent of the human mind."

Biography

Kurt Friedrich Gödel (/ˈɡɜːrdəl/; German: [ˈkʊɐ̯t ˈɡøːdl̩] (About this soundlisten); April 28, 1906 – January 14, 1978) was an Austro-Hungarian-born Austrian, and later American, 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 analyzing the use of logic and set theory to understand the foundations of mathematics pioneered by Georg Cantor.
