God Created Whole Numbers. Mathematical Discoveries That Changed History
Mathematics and logic are a solid foundation of the natural sciences, especially those that operate with complex predictive models. Stephen Hawking, who described a number of hypothetical universes using equations, examines the most important mathematical works of the last 25...
centuries, including the works of Isaac Newton, Nikolai Lobachevsky, and Évariste Galois. The original texts, accompanied by commentary, allow us to trace the progress of mathematical thought that paved the way for the current century of technology. Each chapter begins with a biographical sketch of the scientist, written by Stephen Hawking: he reveals the key idea of the author and the significance of their work. The works On Formally Undecidable Propositions of "Foundations of Mathematics" by Kurt Gödel and On Computable Numbers and Their Application to the Entscheidungsproblem by Alan Turing are published in Russian for the first time.
