Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. In 1931, a young Austrian mathematician published an epoch-making paper containing one of the most revolutionary ideas in logic since Aristotle. Kurt Giidel maintained, and offered detailed proof, that in any arithmetic system, even in elementary parts of arithmetic, there are propositions which cannot be proved or disproved within the system. It is thus uncertain that the basic axioms of arithmetic will not give rise to contradictions. The repercussions of this discovery are still being felt and debated in 20th-century mathematics.The present volume reprints the first English translation of Giidel's far-reaching work. Not only does it make the argument more intelligible, but the introduction contributed by Professor R. B. Braithwaite (Cambridge University}, an excellent work of scholarship in its own right, illuminates it by paraphrasing the major part of the argument.This Dover edition thus makes widely available a superb edition of a classic work of original thought, one that will be of profound interest to mathematicians, logicians and anyone interested in the history of attempts to establish axioms that would provide a rigorous basis for all mathematics. Translated by B. Meltzer, University of Edinburgh. Preface. Introduction by R. B. Braithwaite. First English translation of revolutionary paper (1931) that established that even in elementary parts of arithmetic, there are propositions which cannot be proved or disproved within the system.

First Edition in English, American issue, of 'Über formal unentscheidbare Sätze der Principia Mathematica und verwandter Systeme' (Monatshefte fur Mathematik und Physik, xxxviii (1931), pp. 173-98). viii, 72 pp. Original cloth-backed boards. Lower corner of rear board slightly bumped and cracked, paper clip attached to p. 33/34. Else Very Good, without dust jacket. "Gödel is best known for his proof of 'Gödel's Incompleteness Theorems'. In 1931 he published these results in Über formal unentscheidbare Sätze der Principia Mathematica und verwandter Systeme. He proved fundamental results about axiomatic systems, showing in any axiomatic mathematical system there are propositions that cannot be proved or disproved within the axioms of the system. In particular the consistency of the axioms cannot be proved. This ended a hundred years of attempts to establish axioms which would put the whole of mathematics on an axiomatic basis. One major attempt had been by Bertrand Russell with Principia Mathematica (1910-13). Another was Hilbert's formalism which was dealt a severe blow by Gödel's results. The theorem did not destroy the fundamental idea of formalism, but it did demonstrate that any system would have to be more comprehensive than that envisaged by Hilbert. Gödel's results were a landmark in 20th-century mathematics, showing that mathematics is not a finished object, as had been believed. It also implies that a computer can never be programmed to answer all mathematical questions" (MacTutor History of Mathematics Web site).

First edition in English of the famed incompleteness theorems, overturning a century of efforts to place the whole of mathematics on an axiomatic basis and proving that the bounds cannot be those of one formal system. It includes a preface by R. B. Braithwaite (1900-1990), Knightbridge Professor of Moral Philosophy at Cambridge. For Gödel, even in elementary arithmetic there exist propositions that cannot be proven or disproven within the system. Mathematics is not finished, as had been believed, and computers can never be programmed to answer all mathematical questions. The theorems were originally published in Monatshefte für Mathematik in 1931. Newman, pp. 1668-95. Octavo. Original light green cloth, spine lettered in red. With dust jacket. With the ownership signatures on the front pastedown and free endpaper of Robert Mark Poole Quilliam (1944-2023), chemist and materials scientist, dated 1964 on the rear pastedown. Head of spine bumped, boards gently splayed; jacket unclipped, spine a little faded, extremities lightly rubbed: a near-fine copy in like jacket.
