Abstract

In his autobiographical essay written in 1999, ‘From logic to computer science and back’, Martin David Davis (1928 3 8–2023 1 1) indicated that he viewed himself as a logician and a computer scientist. He expanded the essay in 2016 and expressed a new perspective through a changed title, ‘My life as a logician’. He points out that logic was the unifying theme underlying his scientific career. Our paper attempts to provide a consistent vision that illuminates Davis’s successive contributions leading to his landmark writings on computability, unsolvable problems, automated reasoning, as well as the history and philosophy of computing.

Martin Davis：概述他在逻辑、计算机科学和哲学方面的工作

马丁·大卫·戴维斯（Martin David Davis， 1928年8月- 2023年11月）在1999年写的自传体文章《从逻辑到计算机科学再回来》中表示，他认为自己既是逻辑学家又是计算机科学家。2016年，他扩展了这篇文章，并通过更改标题“我作为逻辑学家的生活”表达了新的视角。他指出，逻辑是他科学生涯的统一主题。我们的论文试图提供一个一致的愿景，阐明戴维斯的连续贡献，导致他在可计算性，不可解决的问题，自动推理，以及计算的历史和哲学方面的里程碑式的著作。
