The Continuum and Other Types of Serial Order [Hardcover] Edward V. Huntington

Description

Dive into the foundational aspects of mathematical theory with “The Continuum and Other Types of Serial Order” by Edward V. Huntington. This second edition, unabridged reproduction of the 1917 classic, offers a comprehensive exploration of the continuum as a type of serial order. Huntington’s work is pivotal for understanding modern mathematical concepts, based on the Dedekind-Cantor ordinal theory. The book provides a systematic approach to the continuum, underlining the definition of irrational numbers and the real number system of algebra. With its clear exposition and rigorous mathematical treatment, this volume is an essential read for anyone interested in the philosophical and logical underpinnings of mathematics. Ideal for mathematicians and scholars, it serves as both a historical document and a critical resource for further research.
