Description
 
In Five Golden Rules, critically acclaimed author John L. Casti serves as curator to a brilliant collection of 20th century mathematical theories, leading us on a fascinating journey of discovery and insight.

Along the way, we meet the leading thinkers of the day: John von Neumann, L.E.J. Brouwer, Marston Morse, and Alan Turing, among others.

It has been estimated that about 200,000 theorems are published each year. How, then, does an author go about selecting a precious few as the most significant of the century? At the beginning of his search, Casti set forth five criteria:
  1. Significance
  2. Beauty and Scope
  3. Applications
  4. Proof Method
  5. Philosophical Implications

CONDITION: Hard Cover, 235 pages, USED lightly, light wear to dust jacket, otherwise book VG+
