Alonzo Church (June 14, 1903 – August 11, 1995) was an American mathematician, computer scientist, logician, and philosopher who made major contributions to mathematical logic and the foundations of theoretical computer science.
Oct 21, 2021 · Alonzo Church (1903–1995) was a renowned mathematical logician, philosophical logician, philosopher, teacher and editor. He was one of the founders of the discipline of mathematical logic as it developed after Cantor, Frege and Russell.
Aug 11, 1995 · His work is of major importance in mathematical logic, recursion theory, and in theoretical computer science. Early contributions included the papers On irredundant sets of postulates (1925), On the form of differential equations of a system of paths (1926), and Alternatives to Zermelo's assumption (1927).
Alonzo Church (born June 14, 1903, Washington, D.C., U.S.—died Aug. 11, 1995, Hudson, Ohio) U.S. mathematician. He earned a Ph.D. from Princeton University. His contributions to number theory and the theories of algorithms and computability laid the foundations of computer science.
Sep 5, 1995 · Alonzo Church, an eminent contributor to mathematical logic and teacher of a generation of American logicians, died in Hudson, Ohio, on Aug. 11. He was 92.
Alonzo Church. 1903-1995. American Mathematician. Like his more famous pupil Alan Turing (1912-1954), Alonzo Church contributed significantly to the foundations of computer science. He is credited, along with Turing, with formulating a key principle concerning computer logic involving recursion, or the recurring repetition of a given operation.
According to Church, a. function is a rule of correspondence by which when anything is given (as argument) another thing (the value of the function for that argument) may be obtained. (1941 [BE: 201]) The λ-calculi are essentially a family of notations for representing functions as such rules of correspondence rather than as graphs (i.e., sets ...
