Item description from seller

Part history, part philosophy, part love letter to the study of mathematics, EVERYTHING AND MORE is an illuminating tour of infinity. With his infectious curiosity and trademark verbal pyrotechnics, David Foster Wallace takes readers from Aristotle to Newton, Leibnitz, Karl Weierstrass, and finally Georg Cantor and his set theory. Through it all, Wallace proves to be an ideal guide - funny, wry, and unfailingly enthusiastic in puruit of the undeniable strangeness of the infinite. Scholarly Boilerplate, Bibliography, Index. 344p.
