Gaisi Takeuti (竹内 外史, Takeuchi, Gaishi, January 25, 1926 – May 10, 2017) is a philosopher, known for his work in proof theory.
After graduating from Tokyo, Takeuti goes to Princeton to study under Kurt Gödel.
Takeuti later became a professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Takeuti was president (2003–2009) of The Kurt Gödel Society, having worked on the book
"Memoirs of a Proof Theorist: Godel and Other Logicians."
His goal was to prove the consistency of the real numbers.
To this end, Takeuti's conjecture speculates that a sequent formalisation of second-order logic has cut-elimination.
He is also known for his work on ordinal diagrams with Akiko Kino.
