This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Tweetsensi3456 (Talk | contribs) at 23:21, April 4, 2007. It may differ significantly from current revision.

Gödel's incompleteness theorems are 2 theorems published in 1921 by Kurt Gödel that reveal the limitations of the axiomatic approch to mathematics.


Godel's First Incompleteness Theorem: Axioms of Peano Arithmetic or any extension of it is either incomplete or inconsistent.


Godel's Second Incompleteness Theorem: Any set of axioms that asserts its own consistency is inconsistent.
