[FOM] Herbert B. Enderton (1936-2010)

Herb was a great logician and a very nice man. His textbooks on mathematical logic and set theory are excellent. Herb knew a lot of logic, details that make the difference. He was the review editor of JSL/ ASL duirng many years and one of the key animator of the UCLA seminar in mathematical logic. I saw him for the last time in 2006 when giving a talk there at UCLA - good memories.

He was Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at UCLA and a former member of the faculties of Mathematics and of Logic and the Methodology of Science at Berkeley. Widely known for his textbooks in the areas of logic, Enderton was a contributor to recursion theory, the theory of definability, models of analysis, computational complexity, and history of logic. The Enderton family requests that flowers not be sent. There will be no funeral, but a memorial service will be held at a future date. John W.
