5.0 out of 5 stars Best book I've ever read!, October 20, 2004
By 
James J. Tabak (Mount Fuji, Japan) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Numbers: Computers, Philosophers, and the Search for Meaning (History of Mathematics) (Hardcover)
The author, John J. Tabak, is the brother of a US Marine. John leads the reader to think about the meaning and mystery of numbers. Further, the incomplete foundation of mathematics is revealed along with some if its implications. Finally, the role of computers in the expanding frontier of mathematical knowledge is explored. Everybody should read this book. It leads the reader to deep insights while staying accessible to readers of all backgrounds and levels.
Sincerely, James J. Tabak USMC
