About this product
Product Information
The infinite No other question has ever moved so profoundly the spirit of man; no other idea has so fruitfully stimulated his intellect; yet no other concept stands in greater need of clarification than that of the infinite. . . - David Hilbert (1862-1943) Infinity is a fathomless gulf, There is a story attributed to David Hilbert, the preeminent mathe into which all things matician whose quotation appears above. A man walked into a vanish. hotel late one night and asked for a room. "Sorry, we don't have o Marcus Aurelius (121- 180), Roman Emperor any more vacancies," replied the owner, "but let's see, perhaps and philosopher I can find you a room after alL" Leaving his desk, the owner reluctantly awakened his guests and asked them to change their rooms: the occupant of room #1 would move to room #2, the occupant of room #2 would move to room #3, and so on until each occupant had moved one room over. To the utter astonish ment of our latecomer, room #1 suddenly became vacated, and he happily moved in and settled down for the night. But a numbing thought kept him from sleep: How could it be that by merely moving the occupants from one room to another, the first room had become vacated? (Remember, all of the rooms were occupied when he arrived."

I'm very pleased with this hard-to-find, numbered hardcover ed. of the landmark McKay-Clements Numismatic Collection Auction Sale by Frank Rose Enterprises in 1976. The seller was very open to accept my all-in offer C$10 under his initial asking price as I alerted him to the option of sending me the item using Canada Post's free shipping on Tuesdays in October program. The item is in near-fine condition. It was well-wrapped and expeditiously sent. Many thanks for a smooth transaction!
