Everything and More: A Compact History of InfinityIs infinity a valid mathematical property or a meaningless abstraction? The nineteenth century mathematical genius Georg Cantor's answer to this question not only surprised him but also shook the very foundations upon which math had been built. Cantor's counterintuitive discovery of a progression of larger and larger infinities created controversy in his time and may have hastened his mental breakdown, but it also helped lead to the development of set
Is infinity a valid mathematical property or a meaningless abstraction? The nineteenth-century mathematical genius Georg Cantor's answer to this question not only surprised him but also shook the very foundations upon which math had been built. Cantor's counterintuitive discovery of a progression of larger and larger infinities created controversy in his time and may have hastened his mental breakdown, but it also helped lead to the development of set theory, analytic philosophy, and even computer technology.
Smart, challenging, and thoroughly rewarding, Wallace's tour de force brings immediate and high-profile recognition to the bizarre and fascinating world of higher mathematics.

Very nice and matches our decor
Color: Beige
Matches our decor and our guests always ask where I bought it. I also like that it turns which is handy. If I could get my husband in the habit of putting the remote in it that would be great!

Perfect?
Color: Black
I rarely use the word perfect, but it fits in this case. It holds my pens, pencils, and various highlighters, along with bookmarks and all the other stuff I put in it. The fact that it rotates/swivels is great. It also looks nice.
