Oldie But Goodie,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Profile of Mathematical Logic (Dover Books on Mathematics) (Paperback)
I first read this book in 1972 for a college course in the Philosophy of Mathematics. I was a philosophy major, mainly because I thought I was no good at math. By the end of the first chapter, I understood geometry for the first time. By the end of the second chapter, I was hooked. Mathematics has been a favorite hobby and occupation ever since.Unfortunately, my prized copy of this text was lost in a flood in 1982. So I am delighted that this reprint is available. If you enjoy math puzzles, if you are interested in Gödel or non-Euclidian geometry, or if you simply want to stretch your mind a bit, I heartily recommend this book.
