According to Putnam, Quine's version of the argument was an argument for the existence of abstract mathematical objects, while Putnam's own argument was simply for a realist interpretation of mathematics, which he believed could be provided by a "mathematics as modal logic" interpretation that need not imply the existence of abstract objects.

As an undergraduate at Princeton University, Swan was one of five winners in the William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition in 1952. [3] He earned his Ph.D. in 1957 from Princeton University under the supervision of John Coleman Moore. [4] In 1969 he proved in full generality what is now known as the Stallings–Swan theorem.
