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 was an American mathematician who contributed to the foundations of computer science and logic. He proved Church's theorem, which shows that there is no decision procedure in mathematics, and formulated the recursive calculus, which underlies computer problem-solving.
