Biography
Dutch mathematician whose chief math interests were twofold. One was a philosophical standpoint about math in which he permitted only methods of reasoning that led, by direct construction, from step to step. He called this view "intuitionism," and it was essentially pure right-brain assimilation. The second interest lay in topology, where he not only proved various important theorems, but also exposed the naivety of the ordinary conception of dimension. His writing was published in two volumes as "Collected Works," 1975-1976.
Died on 12/02/1966.
