Godel - A Life Of Logic, The Mind, And Mathematics (Paperback)

Kurt Goedel was an intellectual giant. His Incompleteness Theorem
turned not only mathematics but also the whole world of science and
philosophy on its head. Shattering hopes that logic would, in the
end, allow us a complete understanding of the universe, Goedel's
theorem also raised many provocative questions: What are the limits
of rational thought? Can we ever fully understand the machines we
build? Or the inner workings of our own minds? How should
mathematicians proceed in the absence of complete certainty about
their results? Equally legendary were Goedel's eccentricities, his
close friendship with Albert Einstein, and his paranoid fear of
germs that eventually led to his death from self-starvation. Now,
in the first book for a general audience on this strange and
brilliant thinker, John Casti and Werner DePauli bring the legend
to life.
