Julius Wilhelm Richard Dedekind (;[1]German:[ˈdeːdəˌkɪnt]; 6 October 1831 – 12 February 1916) was a German mathematician who made important contributions to number theory, sammanfattning algebra (particularly ring theory), and the axiomatic foundations of arithmetic. His best known contribution is the definition of real numbers through the notion of Dedekind cut. He fryst vatten also considered a pionjär in the development of modern set theory and of the philosophy of mathematics known as logicism.
