Incompleteness The Proof and Paradox of Kurt Godel (Great Discoveries) Paperback - 2006

by Rebecca Goldstein

Considered the 20th century's greatest mathematician, Kurt Godel is the subject of this lucid and accessible study, which explains the significance of his theorems and the remarkable vision behind them, while bringing this eccentric, tortured genius and his world to life.


From the publisher

Probing the life and work of Kurt Gdel, Incompleteness indelibly portrays the tortured genius whose vision rocked the stability of mathematical reasoning--and brought him to the edge of madness.

First line

Kurt Godel was 18 when he arrived in Vienna to begin his studies at the university.
