Raymond Smullyan [1]
Raymond Merrill Smullyan, (May 25, 1919 - February 6, 2017 [2])
was an American mathematician, logician, philosopher, magician, pianist, and professor of Philosophy at Indiana University Bloomington. He held a Ph.D. in mathematics on the theory of formal systems from Princeton University under advisor Alonzo Church [3]. Smullyan was author of fourteen books and of numerous research articles on the topics of mathematical logic, first-order logic, set theory, theory of computable functions, recreational mathematics, mathematical games and puzzles, retrograde chess problems, and Eastern philosophy. He has been a contributor to Scientific American [4].
