About this book

Incompleteness: The Proof and Paradox of Kurt Godel (Great Discoveries) by Goldstein, Rebecca. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780393051698.

A fiction writer and professor of physics, Goldstein explains for general readers the nature, context, and significant of logician Gödels (1906-78) incompleteness theorems. She says they belong to a branch of mathematics known as formal logic or mathematical logic, which was considered mathematically suspect until his achievement; and have far reaching implications for the understanding of the nature of truth, knowledge, and certainty.
