First Edition
Oxford; Clarendon Press, 1992. First edition. 23,5x16 cm. xii, 317, (1 blank) pp. Illustrated. Publisher's boards with printed dustjacket. SLight traces from removed price-label on rear panel of the jacket. A fine copy. "Whether one studies the farthest reaches of outer space or the inner space of elementary particles of matter, our understanding of the physical world is built upon that strange symbolic language we call mathematics. But what exactly is mathematics? And why does it work? Is it just an elaborate computer game? Or merely a human invention inspired by our practical needs? Or is it something larger than life? An immaterial 'pi in the sky" reality all of its own? Part of the mind of God? And how do the answers to these questions affect our quest to arrive at an understanding of the Universe? John D. Barrow explores these tantalizing questions in this book, a lively and illuminating study of the origins, the meaning and the mystery of mathematics." (cited from front flap of jacket).
