John W. Dawson, Jr. attended M.I.T. as a National Merit Scholar before earning a doctorate in mathematical logic from the University of Michigan. An internationally recognized authority on the life and work of Kurt Godel, Dawson is the author of numerous articles on axiomatic set theory and the history of modern logic.
Dawson's book remains a starting point for our view into the life
and work of the man who gave the world incompleteness.
