Synopsis:
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
From the Back Cover:
"In it, Jourdain outlines the contributions of many of Cantor's forerunners--including Fourier, Dirichlet, Cauchy, Weierstrass, Riemann, Dedekind, and Hankel--and then further contextualizes Cantor's groundbreaking theory by recounting and examining his earlier work. In this volume, Cantor addresses: -the addition and multiplication of powers, -the exponentiation of powers, -the finite cardinal numbers, -the smallest transfinite cardinal number aleph-zero, -addition and multiplication of ordinal types -well-ordered aggregates the ordinal numbers of well-ordered aggregates, -and much more. German mathematician GEORG CANTOR (1845-1918) is best remembered for formulating set theory. His work was considered controversial at the time, but today he is widely recognized for his important contributions to the field of mathematics."
