The bestselling author of Infinite Jest takes on the 2,000 year-old quest to understand infinity.
Featuring an introduction by Neal Stephenson, this edition is a perfect introduction to the beauty of mathematics and the undeniable strangeness of the infinite..
Through it all, Wallace proves to be an ideal guide--funny, wry, and unfailingly enthusiastic.
With his infectious curiosity and trademark verbal pyrotechnics, David Foster Wallace takes us from Aristotle to Newton, Leibniz, Karl Weierstrass, and finally Georg Cantor and his set theory.
Part history, part philosophy, part love letter to the study of mathematics, Everything and More is an illuminating tour of infinity.
Wallace brings his considerable talents to the History of one of math\'s most enduring puzzles: the seemingly paradoxical nature of infinity.
