Frege, Gottlob Born Nov. 8, 1848, in Wismar; died July 26, 1925, in Bad Kleinen. German logician. Frege received his Ph.D. from the University of Göttingen in 1873. He was a professor at the University of Jena from 1879 to 1918. Frege’s principal work was The Fundamental Laws of Arithmetic (vols. 1–2, 1893–1903), in which he proposed a system of formalized arithmetic based on a second-order predicate calculus that he developed. His intention was to provide a substantiation of the notion of the reducibility of mathematics to logic (seeLOGICISM). REFERENCESBiriukov, B.
