TAILIEUCHUNG - Project Gutenberg’s Chance and Luck, by Richard Proctor

Mathematical logic is concerned with setting mathematics within a rigorous axiomatic framework, and studying the implications of such a framework. As such, it is home to Gödel's incompleteness theorems which (informally) imply that any effective formal system that contains basic arithmetic, if sound (meaning that all theorems that can be proven are true), is necessarily incomplete (meaning that there are true theorems which cannot be proved in that system). Whatever finite collection of number-theoretical axioms is taken as a foundation, Gödel showed how to construct a formal statement that is a true number-theoretical fact, but which does not follow from. | Project Gutenberg s Chance and Luck by Richard Proctor This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever.
