USP Visiting Professor, A/P Frederick Willerboordse, will be conducting three talks on Gödel’s theorems and Turing machine. We strongly encouraged USP community to join these interesting sessions.
(1st talk) Can mathematics talk about itself? Are there true theorems that cannot be proven? Can mathematics be complete? These are questions addressed by Gödel’s seminal paper entitled “On Formally Undecidable Propositions of Principia Mathematica and Related Systems”. This paper has become one of the most influential works of the 20th century and changed the notions of reasoning about formal systems forever. This first talk will discuss the background, motivation and (without proof) what Gödel’s theorems state.
Join this conversation with USP faculty Dr Leung Wing Sze and three invited speakers – Mr John Gee (Former Vice-president of Transient Workers Count Too (TWC2)), USP alum Mr Ow Yeong Wai Kit (English Language & Literature Teacher) and Mr Zakir Hossain Khokon (a construction supervisor and freelance journalist) – as they look at various issues of migrant labour in Singapore. Mr Zakir, also the winner of the 2014 and 2015 Migrant Worker Poetry Contest in Singapore, will read some of his poems during the session. Everyone in USP is invited.
