At the end of the last century and the beginning of the current the German mathematician David Hilbert (1862-1943) embarked on the task of finding a discrete algorithm to determine the falsehood or veracity of any mathematical proposition. What Hilbert was looking for in particular was a mechanical process for determining the veracity of an arbitrary formula in First Order Predicate Calculus applied to whole numbers.
