Alfred Tarski (/ˈtɑːrski/; Polish: [ˈtarskʲi]; born Alfred Teitelbaum; January 14, 1901 – October 26, 1983) was a Polish-American logician and mathematician. A prolific author best known for his work on model theory, metamathematics, and algebraic logic, he also contributed to abstract algebra, topology, geometry, measure theory, mathematical logic, set theory, type theory, and analytic philosophy.
Educated in Poland at the University of Warsaw, and a member of the Lwów–Warsaw school of logic and the Warsaw school of mathematics, in 1939 he immigrated to the United States, where in 1945 he became a naturalized citizen. Tarski taught and carried out research in mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley, from 1942 until his death in 1983.
