Wittgenstein's work remains, undeniably, now, that off one of those few philosophers who will be read by all future generations.

Mathematical logic grew out of philosophical questions regarding the foundations of mathematics, but logic has now outgrown its philosophical roots, and has become an integral part of mathematics in general. This book is designed for students who plan to specialize in logic, as well as for those who are interested in the applications of logic to other areas of mathematics. Used...(展开全部)

PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION This book is intended for readers in transition from school mathematics to the fully-fledged type of thinking used by professional mathematicians. It should prove useful to first-year students in universities and colleges, and to advanced students in school contemplating further study in pure mathematics. It should also be of interest to a wider cla...(展开全部)

"There are many textbooks available for a so-called transition course from calculus to abstract mathematics. I have taught this course several times and always find it problematic. The Foundations of Mathematics (Stewart and Tall) is a horse of a different color. The writing is excellent and there is actually some useful mathematics. I definitely like this book."--The Bulletin ...(展开全部)

From his return to Cambridge in 1929 to his death in 1951, Wittgenstein influenced philosophy almost exclusively through teaching and discussion. These lecture notes indicate what he considered to be salient features of his thinking in this period of his life.

Revised 4th edition covers major mathematical ideas and techniques from ancient Near East to 20th-century computer theory. Work of Archimedes, Pascal, Gauss, Hilbert, etc.

Practical Foundations of Mathematics explains the basis of mathematical reasoning both in pure mathematics itself (algebra and topology in particular) and in computer science. In addition to the formal logic, this volume examines the relationship between computer languages and "plain English" mathematical proofs. The book introduces the reader to discrete mathematics, reasoning...(展开全部)

乔治·亚历山大·库布勒(1912.6.26-1996.10.3)，美国艺术史家。库布勒生于好莱坞，但他大部分的学习生涯是在英国完成的。他首先去西储学院念高中，随后进了耶鲁大学，在那里获得了艺术学士和艺术硕士学位，导师是艺术史家亨利·弗西林(Henri Focillon)。从1938年开始，库布勒在耶鲁任教。在1999年，获得威廉克莱德赫特勋章。他最重要的著作是《时间的形状》(The Shape of Time: Remarks on the History of Things)。《时间的形状》一书出版于1962年。
