"Modern descriptive set theory builds on both the classical descriptive set theory and on recursion theory. It has become clear in the 1950’s that the topological approach of classical descriptive set theory and the recursion theoretic techniques of logical definability describe the same phenomena. Modern descriptive set theory unified both approaches, as well as the notation."
