About The Book
Hermann Weyl's "The Concept of the Continuum" is a concise yet profound exploration of the mathematical and logical issues surrounding the continuum and real numbers. Originally published in 1918, this reprint edition offers readers a clear, rigorous examination of foundational problems in mathematics.
The book is divided into two key chapters:
-
The Logic and Mathematics of Set and Function: This chapter delves into the foundational theories of set theory and function analysis, providing the groundwork for the study of the continuum.
-
The Concept of Number and the Continuum: Focusing on the philosophical and mathematical implications of the continuum, Weyl examines the nature of numbers and how they relate to continuous structures in mathematics.
An essential advanced-level text for anyone working in the realms of foundational analysis, this work remains influential in the field of mathematical logic. Weyl's careful, precise language ensures that even complex ideas are accessible, making this a landmark text for mathematicians, philosophers, and students of mathematical foundations.
