| The logician, concert pianist, Taoist, and magician Raymond
| Smullyan has always been of interest to computer scientists.
| Besides being a polymath, he had Feynman's knack for being able
| to explain complex subjects in an accessible way.
|
| In Raymond's case, via puzzles that unfolded ideas in recursion,
| infinity, Godel's theories, logic, and more.
|
| The Raymond Smullyan Society was formed to preserve his work, and
| it has just launched this web site.

| Nice. I recently bought a copy of his _First-Order Logic_ , which
