Early Childhood & Early Life
Kurt Friedrich Godel was born on April 28, 1906, in Brno, the second largest city in the Czech Republic. At the time of his birth, it was a fabric-producing city in the Austro-Hungarian area of control/area of land of Moravia and was known as Brunn.
His father, Rudolf Godel, was, at first, a fabric worker. Later, he became the manager and eventually the part owner of the Friedrich Redlich fabric factory. His mother, Marianne Godel (nee Handschuh) was educated at a French institute; she had broad cultural interests.

However, from his (the time when a person is a child), he suffered from different sicknesses. At the age of five, he had a mild fear and stress-related extreme worrying, but recovered completely from it. At six, he suffered from (suffering from muscle and joint pain) fever. Although he recovered from this too, he became convinced that his heart had been damaged permanently.
Kurt Friedrich Gödel was an Austrian-American logician, mathematician, and philosopher, born in the Austro-Hungarian city of Brno. He was a bright and inquisitive child, who had interest in various subjects. Although he entered the University of Vienna with physics, he continued attending mathematics and philosophy classes and subsequently took up mathematics as his main subject. Soon after earning his doctorate degree at the age of twenty-five, he published two incompleteness theorems. Thereafter, he began working at the University of Vienna as Privatdozent. Concurrently, he also became a visiting professor at the Institute of Advanced Study at Princeton, USA. When Germany annexed Austria, he moved to the USA, where he spent his entire career at IAS, Princeton. Although he was basically a mathematician, later his interest shifted towards philosophy and he continued working on these two subjects. Unfortunately, towards the end of life, he developed Persecutory delusions and fearing being poisoned, he starved himself to
