| Physical Description | 1 online resource (xiii, 182 pages) : illustrations (black and white). |
| Series | Princeton scholarship online |
| Notes | Previously issued in print: 2018. |
| Summary | This text presents reverse mathematics to a general mathematical audience for the first time. Reverse mathematics is a new field that answers some old questions. In the 2000 years that mathematicians have been deriving theorems from axioms, it has often been asked: which axioms are needed to prove a given theorem? Only in the last 200 years have some of these questions been answered, and only in the last 40 years has a systematic approach been developed. |
