Leon Birnbaum

Leon Birnbaum (1918–2010) was a Romanian mathematician and philosopher.

He was born in Chernovtsy (now Ukraine) on June 18, 1918 to a family with an intellectual tradition. He studied at the Orthodox High School, then at the Faculty of Mathematics. In 1941 the war reached Chernovtsy and he was deported to Magilev-Podolsk in Transnistria until 1944.

In 1946 he became a Mathematics teacher in Strehaia, Romania, then at Turnu Severin and Dej. Meanwhile, he obtained a degree in Russian Language and Literature, then an engineering license in Machine Technology. Encouraged by friends, Birnbaum began to publish Mathematical articles in the journals "Mathematical Studies and Research" of Bucharest, "Notre Dame Journal of Formal Logics" in the USA and many others.

He was a member of the "Association Internationale de Cybernetique" in Namur, Belgium and a member of the Editorial Board of the magazine "Informatica", in Ljubljana. He was also a member of ASTRA.
