Talk:Torkel Franzén

Is there some technical reason for misspelling Franzén's last name? Aatu 05:58, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

In Gaddes usenet article the date for Torkel's dissertation is wrongly said to be 2004, correct year is 1987. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kappakomplett (talk • contribs) 19:01, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

I can attest to that, seeing as I have a paper copy on my shelf, acquired that very year, i.e. 1987. 188.115.62.38 (talk) 21:08, 20 March 2017 (UTC)

Significance?
I hope it isn't impolite to ask, but is Torkel Franzén important enought to have a Wikipedia article devoted to him? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.122.8.80 (talk) 15:53, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Acquaint yourself with his work, and your doubts about his importance will be dispelled. His Goedel myth buster was an absolute delight, BTW. 188.115.62.38 (talk) 21:08, 20 March 2017 (UTC)

I entirely agree with 188.115.62.38's (may I call you '188'?) comment. Here's why:

In 1987 his dissertation - "Provability and Truth" - floated across my desk, and I thought to myself "Hey, this guy is interesting". I think this article needs expanding, preferably by people who knew him personally (FYI, I'm not one of them.) 2001:7E8:C4CA:CB01:A591:7FE7:583:EF0F (talk) 19:27, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
