William Ferguson (Mathematician)

William Ferguson was a mathematician known for his work in mathematical logic and the foundations of mathematics. His research contributed to understanding how mathematical systems are constructed and how they can be rigorously proved consistent. Ferguson’s work often involved examining the principles underlying mathematical theories, helping to clarify how we can be confident in mathematical truths. His contributions have had a lasting impact on the fields of logic, proof theory, and the philosophy of mathematics, aiding in the development of formal systems that underpin modern mathematics and computer science.
