  • G.W. Leibniz, Interrelations between Mathematics and Philosophy

    Series series History (R0)
    Up to now there have been scarcely any publications on Leibniz dedicated to investigating the interrelations between philosophy and mathematics in his thought. In part this is due to the previously restricted textual basis of editions such as those produced by Gerhardt. Through recent volumes of the scientific letters and mathematical papers series of the Academy Edition scholars have obtained a ... Leer más

  • The Real Numbers

    An Introduction to Set Theory and Analysis

    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    While most texts on real analysis are content to assume the real numbers, or to treat them only briefly, this text makes a serious study of the real number system and the issues it brings to light. Analysis needs the real numbers to model the line, and to support the concepts of continuity and measure. But these seemingly simple requirements lead to deep issues of set theory—uncountability, the ... Leer más
