Ground, W1 bay 6, shelf 2 Something is wrong

Beyond infinity : an expedition to the outer limits of mathematics / Eugenia Cheng

This exploration of the mathematical concept of infinity examines the differences between types of infinite sets and explains various paradoxes. It uses intuitive metaphors to analyse theories relating to both the infinitely large and the infinitely small.
