Peano

Giuseppe Peano was a mathematician who developed a precise way to define natural numbers (0, 1, 2, 3, ...) using simple rules. His approach starts with zero and then defines each subsequent number as the "next" one, creating a foundation for understanding numbers logically. This simple, rigorous system helps mathematicians build complex concepts in mathematics and logic, ensuring everything is consistent and well-defined. Peano's work is fundamental in mathematical logic and formal systems, providing a clear structure for how numbers are understood in mathematics.
