Bridges to Infinity: The Human side of Mathematics

This book tells me that Georg Cantor's work in mathematics is ready to be taught in high schools. Earlier books on Cantor are too mathematical, hide truths about life, and hide God from the general public. The author brings life into Cantor. The problem is that mathematicians have removed life out of Cantor's work by rejecting God and God's determinate infinity. The author's discussion of mathematics on p.19 should be given lots of attention. There, he has words of Imre Lakatos and Morris Kline on the danger of logic. My recent book on 'The First Scientific Proof of God' shows that some opposing concepts can coexist, but only if God exists. By taking Cantor's work into the high schools, mathematicians might learn that their work can be unified with life and that God really exists.

A previous reviewer claims this book is "full of errors," but gives no examples of them. While I can't guarantee that this book is error free, any such errors are likely to involve technicalities which can be overlooked given the introductory and relatively qualitative nature of this book. On the important points, the book indeed appears to be accurate and clear. Moreover, this book is highly enjoyable, and probably accessible for everyone ranging from bright high school students on up. As such, the book is as an excellent prelude before plunging into a more rigorous study of the subject and, indeed, many readers will probably be motivated to do just that!

As soon as I began reading this book, I realized it had been written specifically for me. Math and I never got along. We could never agree on anything, and the truth was, Math was always much smarter. But BRIDGES TO INFINITY demystified Math. Dr. Guillen gently and patiently explains the stuff that goes on in Math's head. Finally, after reading this book, Math and I came to an understanding. Math is still smarter, but now we get along.
