Удивительная математика. Как теория чисел и теория множеств порождают парадоксы бесконечности

U knigi o beskonechnosti ne mojet biet konca; beskonechnost — eto neskonchaemaia istoriia, utverjdaet avtor neskolkih mejdunarodnieh bestsellerov, blestiashii matematik i filosof, professor Tel-Avivskogo universiteta Haim Shapira.V soprovojdenii velichaishih matematicheskih umov vseh epoh s ih genialniemi gipotezami, teoremami i dokazatelstvami vie otpravites v uvlekatelnoe matematicheskoe puteshestvie, v hode kotorogo vas jdet mnojestvo otkrietii, chudesnaia drujba s ciframi i velikolepnaia pisha dlia uma. "Pochemu stol mnogie ludi churautsia zamieslovatosti i krasotie, kotoriee mojno naiti v mire chisel i ih sviaziah drug s drugom? Vozmojno, glavnaia prichina zakluchaetsia v nepristupnosti matematiki i teh trudnostiah, s kotoriemi stalkivautsia jelaushie poznat ee. Deistvitelno, matematika vesma slojna, i, chtobie razobratsia v ee hitrospleteniiah, neobhodimo zatratit vremia i prilojit umstvenniee usiliia — no i za osobo izieskanniemi jemchujinami inogda prihoditsia nieriat do samieh nedostupnieh glubin. Dlia menia vajno, chtobie etu knigu mog s udovolstviem chitat luboi chelovek, dostatochno luboznatelniei i stremiashiisia vremia ot vremeni porabotat golovoi".(Haim Shapira) Chitat dalshe…

There can be no end to a book about infinity; infinity is a never—ending story, says Chaim Shapira, author of several international bestsellers, a brilliant mathematician and philosopher, professor at Tel Aviv University.Accompanied by the greatest mathematical minds of all ages with their brilliant hypotheses, theorems and proofs, you will embark on an exciting mathematical journey, during which you will find many discoveries, wonderful friendship with numbers and great food for the mind. "Why do so many people shy away from the intricacy and beauty that can be found in the world of numbers and their connections to each other? Perhaps the main reason lies in the inaccessibility of mathematics and the difficulties faced by those who wish to learn it. Indeed, mathematics is very complex, and to understand its intricacies, it takes time and mental effort — but sometimes you have to dive to the most inaccessible depths for particularly exquisite pearls. It is important to me that anyone who is curious enough and wants to work with his head from time to time can read this book with pleasure."(Chaim Shapira) Read more…
