MYSTERIES OF NUMBER
In "Number: the Language of Science'! (Allen and Unwin) Dr. Dantzig,: Professor of Mathematics in thp University of Maryland, writes of the fundamental issues of his science for those'who have no advanced mathematical equipment, but who possess what may be called a mathematical sense. Dr. Dantzig's combination of the history of the subject with an analysis and discussion of the logical and philosophical problems involved is of the greatest interest. The-ease with which the.book reads for a mathematician is no measure .of the thought and . c.aro which have been put into the writing. This'is'an excellent account for the mathematical student, or the general reader mathematically disposed, who wishes for some sort' of philosophical conspectus, of■ ■ tlip subject.
