Mathematics without Numbers (Clarendon Paperbacks) de Geoffrey Hellman

Mathematics without Numbers: Towards a Modal-Structural Interpretation: Clarendon Paperbacks

Geoffrey Hellman

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 noi 1993

Geoffrey Hellman presents a detailed interpretation of mathematics as the investigation of structural possibilities, as opposed to absolute, Platonic objects. After dealing with the natural numbers and analysis, he extends his approach to set theory, and shows how to dispense with a fixed universe of sets. Finally, he addresses problems of application to the physical world.
