C.C. Elgot

C.C. Elgot was a mathematician known for his work in logic, set theory, and the foundations of mathematics. He contributed to understanding how mathematical statements and proofs can be formally structured, especially related to computability and formal systems. His research helped clarify which problems can be solved with algorithms and how mathematical reasoning can be rigorously represented. Overall, Elgot's work advanced our understanding of the limits of computation and formal methods in mathematics, influencing areas like computer science and mathematical logic.
