Luitzen Egbertus Jan Brouwer, 1881-1966

Georg Kreisel, Maxwell Herman Alexander Newman · Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the Royal Society · 1969

Abstract This Memoir is divided into three parts. Part I describes Brouwer's life and that part of his work which develops a general philosophy of mathematics; since the latter is regarded as obscure, but also as important, its broad outlines are presented quite fully and without technicalities. Parts II and III contain more precise accounts of Brouwer's contributions to topology and logic respectively; Parts I and III are due to G. Kreisel, Part II to M. H. A. Newman.
