"He introduced recursive functions in about 1932." Posthumously? Michael Larsen 11:35, 22 Oct 2003 (UTC)
Am I right to assume that, due to his Frnech origin, "Herbrand" is pronounced vaguely similar to "air-brond" (well, you get the point ;-). Especially, the "H" should be silent. This has consequences in English writing: e.g. one has to say "an Herbrand base" instead of "a Herbrand base" -- which in this case would be one of the major orthographical errors in theoretical computer science (try your favorite websearch for "a Herbrand" vs. "an Herbrand"). I also think I remember some major logic-related textbooks (such as Lloyd's introduction to logic programming) to use "an" correctly. Maybe someone could confirm this and give a hint somewhere on Wikipedia ... -- Markus Krötzsch 07:10, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
Concerning the post-humous introduction of recursive functions: 1931 (not 1932) is listed as the date of relevant publication.
