{"product_id":"roads-to-infinity-ak-peters-crc-recreational-mathematics-series","title":"Roads to Infinity (AK Peters\/CRC Recreational Mathematics Series)","description":"Winner of a CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title Award for 2011!\n\nThis book offers an introduction to modern ideas about infinity and their implications for mathematics. It unifies ideas from set theory and mathematical logic, and traces their effects on mainstream mathematical topics of today, such as number theory and combinatorics. The treatment is historical and partly informal, but with due attention to the subtleties of the subject.\nIdeas are shown to evolve from natural mathematical questions about the nature of infinity and the nature of proof, set against a background of broader questions and developments in mathematics. A particular aim of the book is to acknowledge some important but neglected figures in the history of infinity, such as Post and Gentzen, alongside the recognized giants Cantor and Gödel.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1568814666\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: GBV.1568814666.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Stillwell, John\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in acceptable condition and may have highlighting and or writing throughout.
