…In 1928, Ackermann helped David Hilbert turn his 1917 22 lectures on introductory mathematical logic into a text, Principles of Mathematical Logic. This text contained the first exposition ever of first-order logic, and posed the problem of its completeness and decidability (Entscheidungspr...

…une fonction qu'un ordinateur idalis peut calculer. Dans Sur l'infini, David Hilbert conjectura que la fonction d'Ackermann n'tait pas primitivement rcursive. Cette conjecture fut tablie par Ackermann lui-mme dans son article Zum Hilbertschen Aufbau der reellen Zahlen[2]. Sur l'infini tait l...
