The present collection gathers together the contributions of the world leading scholars working in the intersection of phenomenology and mathematics. During Edmund Husserl's lifetime (1859-1938) modern logic and mathematics rapidly developed toward their current outlook and Husserl's writings can be fruitfully compared and contrasted with both 19^th century figures such as Boole, Schröder and Weierstrass as well as the 20^th century characters like Heyting, Zermelo, and Gödel.
