American mathematician and logician (1903–1995)
AI overview
Alonzo Church was an American mathematician and logician who lived from 1903 to 1995 and made foundational contributions to mathematical logic and the theory of computation. His work helped establish fundamental concepts in computer science and formal systems that continue to influence how we understand what problems can and cannot be solved by algorithms.

Alonzo Church (Washington, DC, 14 de junho de 1903 — Hudson (Ohio), 8 de novembro de 1995) foi um matemático estadunidense. Atuou principalmente nas áreas de lógica matemática, teoria da recursão e teoria da computação. Entre suas maiores contribuições, estão o cálculo lambda, um sistema matemático formal que investiga funções, aplicação de funções. Influenciou as linguagens de programação, principalmente as linguagens funcionais, como o LISP (LISP 'puro' pode ser chamada de uma linguagem funcional verdadeira).
