Smullyan, quot;Satan, Cantor, And Infinity and Other Mind-Boggling Puzzlesquot; The author of What Is the Name of This Book? presents a compilation of more than two hundred challenging new logic puzzlesranging from simple brainteasers to complex mathematical paradoxes. Summary: To tell the truth Rating: 5 Raymond Smullyan has been described (by Martin Gardner, no less) as the most entertaining logician ever (lets leave aside the lack of competition here after all, Kurt Godel wasn't known to be a bundle of laughs, etc. ). One of the points of logic is to figure out what lines of reasoning make sense, and what can be considered true and false, given the proper rules of rational thought and the right information. This can be done by means of equations, symbolic exions and linguistic tools, but this can be rather dry. A much more enjoyable means of learning to apply logical principles is through the kinds of puzzles presented by Smullyan. It is somewhat ironic story problems are the point of greatest dread among many mathematics students, yet the logic-equivalent of story problems are the most fun! Smullyan has written several books on logic puzzles, and often starts with the device of puzzles with figuring out who is telling the truth and who is lying here it starts on the island of Knights and Knaves, where Knights always tell the truth, and Knaves always tell lies. However, apart from this distinction, it is impossible to tell them apart. Smullyan presents the problems, and then presents the solutions, not in the back of the book or in a footnote, but as part of the narrative. It is a very natural and logical progression.

Skewe's number: In 1933, Stanley Skewes used the number 10 (= 10^10^10^34) in a proof involving prime numbers. G. H. Hardy said it was "the largest number which has ever served any definite purpose in mathematics". Graham's number: In 1971, Ronald Graham used a much larger number in a proof involving combinatorics. The number is so large that it takes a page just to describe how to write the number. Martin Gardner called it "the largest number ever used in a serious mathematical proof". The Guiness Book of World Records listed it as the largest useful number. Tetration Multiplication is just repeated addition: for example, 2 x 3 = 2 + 2 + 2. Exponentiation is just repeated multiplication: for example, 2 = 2 x 2 x 2. But, what is repeated exponentiation called? It is called tetration. For example, 2 tetrated to 3, represented as 2, is equal to 2

Cantor was also of a philosophical bent so he was drawn to mathematical inquiry that might lead to discoveries about a concept or a notion that had long intrigued yet troubled serious thinkers: infinity. Is the notion of infinity simply an intuitive idea we humans feel but which lies beyond our capacity to inquire into its nature? That is: is infinity just infinity and that's all we can really say about it? Or, is it something we can delve into systematically in order to discover truths about its characteristics just as we have about molecules and atoms? Georg Cantor was compelled to look into all this. At some point Cantor began thinking about what he termed "sets." In fact, Cantor is credited with inventing "set theory," which is now thought of as one of the most fundamental branches of mathematics. A set is a group of things that share a common quality or share common qualities. Some examples: the set of all circles. The set of all counting numbers. The set of all humans. The set of all female humans.

30. Cantor And Cohen: Infinite Investigators Part I | Plus.maths.org It certainly did look as if Cantor's infinities had finally been placed on a solid footing. But all the same, there was one issue which remained mysterious. http://plus.maths.org/issue47/features/elwes1/index.html

Zermelo-Fraenkel axiomatisation of set theory June 2008 The axiom of choice This is one half of a two-part article telling a story of two mathematical problems and two men: Georg Cantor, who discovered the strange world that these problems inhabit, and Paul Cohen (who died last year), who eventually solved them. The first of these problems — the axiom of choice — is the subject of this article, while the other article explores what is known as the continuum hypothesis. Each article is self-contained, so you don't have to read both to get the picture. Cantor: The infinite match-maker Georg Cantor was a German logician who, in the late 19th century, achieved a feat which scientists, philosophers, and theologians had previously only dreamed about: a detailed analysis of infinity. For Cantor personally, the consequences of this triumph were not happy. Unable to solve one of the questions his work opened up, known as the continuum hypothesis , he became obsessive and miserable with his failure. This fixation combined with personal tragedy, the death of his son, and the public insult of having his work rejected as being "one hundred years too soon", Cantor spent the last years of his life in and out of sanatoria.

Counting to Infinity The symbol, , has been around for more than two thousand years. The Romans used it to represent 1000, a BIG number to them. About 1650 the English mathematician, John Wallis , proposed that stand for INFINITY, and that stuck. The concept of infinity has tantalized and sometimes troubled mankind even longer. Zeno of Elea (495 BC?-425 BC?), an early Greek thinker, is remembered for his paradoxes of motion that are rooted in deep questions about the nature of time and space and in some misconceptions about infinity. Most religions attempt to explain in their own ways the mysteries and vagaries of the infinite. In the early 1600's Galileo began to show signs of a modern attitude toward the infinite, when he proposed that "infinity should obey a different arithmetic than finite numbers." But it was not until the late 19th century that Georg Cantor (1845-1918), a German mathematician, finally put infinity on a firm logical foundation and described a way to do arithmetic with infinite quantities useful to mathematics. His basic definition was simple: a collection is infinite, if some of its parts are as big as the whole.

In a letter to Dedekind in 1899 Cantor aknowledged the contradition of concieving a multiplicity as one finished thing. The Burali-Forti paradox is evident. Still, Cantor gives this concept (which transcends the transfinite numbers) a relation with God, so obviously he didn't deny the existence of the Absolute (he was religious, not an atheist). If I have understood correctly, standard set theory avoids this problem by limitation of size, or as in ZF, by Axiom of Separation. Has any credible mathematician/philosopher discussed or written about Cantor's Absolute Infinity? When set theorists using Cantor's ideas think of bigger and bigger infinities, does it loom as a mystery in the background? Or is it just considered to be a peculiar thought of, well, a mathematician on the verge of a nervous breakdown before being institutionalized?
