Abstract:I present the proof of Gödel's First Incompleteness theorem in an intuitive manner assuming college-level computational background, while covering all technically challenging steps. I also discuss Gödel's Second Incompleteness theorem, their connection to Gödel's Completeness theorem, and conclude with brief remarks on implications for mathematics, computation, theory of mind and AI.
