Gödel's incompleteness theorems are 2 theorems published in 1931 by Kurt Gödel that reveal the limitations of the axiomatic approch to mathematics.


Godel's First Incompleteness Theorem: Peano Arithmetic or any extension of Peano Arithmetic is either incomplete or inconsistent.


Godel's Second Incompleteness Theorem: Any set of axioms that asserts its own consistency is inconsistent.
