Hilbert's programme |

|
|
Hilbert\'s programme was an attempt by David Hilbert (1862 - 1943) to define the remaining task left to mathematics and to set up a programme to carry this out. The aim of Hilbert\'s programme was to find a way, given a sentence in symbolic logic, to mechanically determine whether that sentence was true or false. This aim was shown to be impossible by Gödel\'s incompleteness theorem. SMcL |
