    Löwenheim

    modernMathematical Logic

    1878 – 1957

    Leopold Löwenheim (1878-1957) was a German mathematician and logician best known for his foundational contributions to mathematical logic and model theory. His 1915 paper 'Über Möglichkeiten im Relativkalkül' established what became the Löwenheim-Skolem theorem, a cornerstone result concerning the cardinality of models of first-order theories.
