David Hilbert (1862-1943). This Interdisciplinary Study Of Infinity Explores The Concept Through The Prism Of Mathematics And Then Offers More Expansive Investigations In Areas Beyond Mathematical Boundaries To Reflect The Broader, Deeper Implications Of Infinity For Human Intellectual Thought. More Than A Dozen World-renowned Researchers In The Fields Of Mathematics, Physics, Cosmology, Philosophy, And Theology Offer A Rich Intellectual Exchange Among Various Current Viewpoints, Rather Than A Static Picture Of Accepted Views On Infinity. The Book Starts With A Historical Examination Of The Transformation Of Infinity From A Philosophical And Theological Study To One Dominated By Mathematics. It Then Offers Technical Discussions On The Understanding Of Mathematical Infinity.
