Hao Wang

Hao Wang was a prominent logician and philosopher known for his work in many-valued logic, a branch of logic where truth values extend beyond the binary of true and false to include various degrees of truth. He explored proof theory, which examines the structure of mathematical proofs, focusing on how systems of reasoning can be formalized. Wang contributed to understanding the foundations of mathematics and artificial intelligence, advocating for rigorous methods that balance logical reasoning with computational processes, thereby influencing both philosophy and computer science. His insights helped advance discussions on the nature of truth and reasoning.
