Ernst Zermelo was a German logician and mathematician who developed Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory and proved the well-ordering theorem. He also worked on the continuum hypothesis, the navigation problem, and chess ranking methods.
Ernst Zermelo was a German mathematician who proved that every set can be well ordered and developed the axiomatic foundations of set theory. He worked at Göttingen with Hilbert and faced criticism for his non-constructive methods and his use of the axiom of choice.
Ernst Zermelo was a pioneer of set theory who formulated the axiom of choice and the Zermelo-Fraenkel axioms. He also studied the paradoxes of set theory and the foundations of mathematics.
Jul 2, 2013 · The first axiomatisation of set theory was given by Zermelo in his 1908 paper “Untersuchungen über die Grundlagen der Mengenlehre, I” (Zermelo 1908b), which became the basis for the modern theory of sets. This entry focuses on the 1908 axiomatisation; a further entry will consider later axiomatisations of set theory in the period 1920 ...
