ISBN: 1602064423 ISBN-13: 9781602064423 Publisher: Cosimo Classics OUR PRICE: $16.14 Product Type: Paperback Published: May 2007 Annotation: "In it, Jourdain outlines the contributions of many of Cantors forerunnersincluding Fourier, Dirichlet, Cauchy, Weierstrass, Riemann, Dedekind, and Hankeland then further contextualizes Cantors groundbreaking theory by recounting and examining his earlier work. In this volume, Cantor addresses: the addition and multiplication of powers the exponentiation of powers the finite cardinal numbers the smallest transfinite cardinal number aleph-zero addition and multiplication of ordinal types well-ordered aggregates the ordinal numbers of well-ordered aggregates and much more. German mathematician GEORG CANTOR (1845-1918) is best remembered for formulating set theory. His work was considered controversial at the time, but today he is widely recognized for his important contributions to the field of mathematics." |
