Best book I've ever read!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
The author, John J. Tabak, is the brother of a US Marine. John leads the reader to think about the meaning and mystery of numbers. Further, the incomplete foundation of mathematics is revealed along with some if its implications. Finally, the role of computers in the expanding frontier of mathematical knowledge is explored. Everybody should read this book. It leads the reader to deep insights while staying accessible to readers of all backgrounds and levels. Sincerely, James J. Tabak USMC
