Abstract: A. N. Whitehead (1861Whitehead ( -1947 contributed notably to the foundations of pure and applied mathematics, especially from the late 1890s to the mid 1920s. An algebraist by mathematical tendency, he surveyed several algebras in his book Universal Algebra (1898). Then in the 1900s he joined Bertrand Russell in an attempt to ground many parts of mathematics in the newly developing mathematical logic. In this connection he published in 1906 a long paper on geometry, space and time, and matter. The main outcom… Show more
