Alonzo Church - Wikipedia

Alonzo Church

Alonzo Church was an American mathematician who was responsible for some of the foundations of theoretical computer science. Born on June 4, 1903 in Washington D.C., he attended Princeton University as an undergraduate and continued there, completing his PhD in 1927. He became a professor of mathematics at Princeton in 1929.

He is best known for the development of the lambda calculus, his 1936 paper that showed the existence of an "undecidable problem" in it. This result preempted Alan Turing's famous work on the halting problem which also demonstrated the existence of a problem unsolvable by mechanical means. Supervising Turing's doctoral thesis, they then showed that the lambda calculus and the Turing machine used in Turing's halting problem were equivalent in capabilities, and subsequently demonstrated a variety of alternative "mechanical processes for computation" had equivalent computational abilities. This resulted in the Church-Turing thesis, which is also known as Church's Thesis and Turing's Thesis as there is dispute about who proposed it first.

Church's other doctoral students included Stephen Kleene.

Church remained a professor of mathematics at Princeton until 1967, when he moved to California. He died in 1995.
