Siegfried Gottwald

John Siegfried Gottwald ( born March 30, 1943 in Limbach, Saxony ) is a German mathematician, logician and historian of science who became known primarily for his contributions to set theory and logic.

Life and work

Siegfried Gottwald studied 1961-1966 Mathematics at the University of Leipzig. He then worked as a research assistant and in 1969 rer with Dieter Klaua with the work construction of numerical ranges and the basics of content theory in a multivalent set theory to the Dr.. nat. doctorate. In 1972 he became the facultas docendi and 1977 the habilitation. At the Section Philosophy, University of Leipzig in 1979 he was a lecturer in Mathematical Logic, 1987 associate professor and full professor in 1992 for non- Classical and Mathematical Logic. In the same year he received the Research Award Technical Communication for his work on fuzzy logic.

His main area of ​​research are fuzzy sets and fuzzy techniques, in addition valued logic and mathematics and logic history. He is co-editor of the lexicon of famous mathematicians.

Siegfried Gottwald was for several years Vice Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Philosophy at the University of Leipzig.

In 2008 he became Professor Emeritus.

Siegfried Gottwald is married and has three children.
