Principia Mathematica (1910-1913)

---

Co-authored by Bertrand Russell and Alfred North Whitehead, Principia Mathematica is a monumental three-volume work that aimed to establish a logical foundation for all of mathematics. Russell and Whitehead sought to derive every mathematical truth from a set of axioms and inference rules in symbolic logic.
While the project was later shown to have inherent limitations, as revealed by Kurt Gödel’s incompleteness theorems, Principia Mathematica remains a seminal work in mathematical logic. Its profound influence extends to the philosophy of mathematics, marking a significant milestone in the quest for a rigorous, logical basis for mathematical truths.
