The Mystery of the Aleph
Mathematics, the Kabbalah, and the Search for Infinity
Book • 2001
The Mystery of the Aleph delves into the concept of infinity, starting from ancient Greek mathematicians like Pythagoras and Zeno, through the mystical numerology of the Kabbalah, to the modern developments in set theory by Georg Cantor and Kurt Gödel.
The book chronicles Cantor's life, his groundbreaking work on infinite numbers, and his struggles with mental health.
It also touches on the broader impact of these mathematical discoveries on science, philosophy, and religion, using accessible analogies to explain complex mathematical theories.
