New Book: Understanding the Infinities of Mathematics

For more than 2000 years, mathematicians used the term “infinity” to mean “on and on.” In the late 1800s, Georg Cantor not only defined “infinity” precisely, but created an infinity of infinities and developed criteria to tell them apart.

His astounding work forced a rethinking of axioms and proofs and enabled remarkable breakthroughs in modern mathematics.

To learn about this amazing development in simple language accessible to anyone, read the book now.
