It started with a suggestion of Alonzo Church, based on the lambda calculus, in 1936: “The purpose of the present paper is to propose a definition of effective calculability” . This was followed by the introduction of Turing machines, as a basic model of computability, in the same year [ 5 ].
Alonzo Church (14. června 1903 Washington, D.C. – 11. srpna 1995 Hudson (Ohio)) byl americký matematik, logik a filozof. Byl jedním z prvních lidí zabývajících se teorií algoritmů . Narodil se ve Washingtonu a vystudoval na Princetonské univerzitě , kde se později stal i profesorem .
Jan 1, 2013 · Alonzo Church was an American mathematician and logician who made important contributions to mathematical logic and to theoretical computer science. He developed the lambda calculus in the 1930s as a tool to study computability, Footnote 1 and he showed that anything that is computable is computable by the lambda calculus.
Jan 1, 2003 · The Church family was of considerable civic and academic distinc- tion; Church's great grandfather, also named Alonzo Church, was a professor of mathematics and later president from 1829 to 1859 of the college in Athens, GA, that became the University of Georgia.
C.2 The Translation Argument (CTA) and Mates’ Puzzle. Church also employed the CTA for another purpose (1954)—to resolve a puzzle posed by Mates (1950). Consider the following pair of sentences: (1) Jones believes that lawyers are wealthy. (2) Jones believes that attorneys are wealthy.
This formalism was developed by Alonzo Church as a tool for study-ing the mathematical properties of e ectively computable functions. The formalism became popular and has provided a strong theoretical foundation for the family of functional programming languages. This tutorial shows how to perform arithmetical and logical computations
