Gerhard Gentzen was a German mathematician and logician, best known for his pioneering work in proof theory and for developing natural deduction systems. His contributions laid the groundwork for modern logical systems, especially the methods that are foundational to understanding how logical reasoning can be formalized. Gentzen's approach helps in analyzing the structure of proofs and has significant implications for both mathematical logic and computer science.
