Book Description of God Created The Integers: The Mathematical Breakthroughs That Changed History
God Created the Integers is Stephen Hawking's personal choice of the greatest mathematical works in history. He allows the reader to peer into the mind of genius by providing us with excerpts from original mathematical proofs and results. He also helps us understand the progression of mathematical thought, and the very foundations of our presentday technologies.
The book includes landmark discoveries spanning 2500 years and representing the work of mathematicians such as Euclid, Georg Cantor, Kurt Gödel, Augustin Cauchy, Bernard Riemann and Alan Turing.
