On the other hand, this period also witnessed the emergence of a  variety of alternative theories of real numbers and corresponding  theories of continua, as well as non-Archimedean geometry,  non-standard analysis, and a number of important generalizations of  the system of real numbers, some of which have been described as  arithmetic continua of one type or another. \u003cbr\u003e  With the exception of E.W. Hobson's essay, which is concerned with the  ideas of Cantor and Dedekind and their reception at the turn of the  century, the papers in the present collection are either concerned  with or are contributions to, the latter groups of studies. All the  contributors are outstanding authorities in their respective fields,  and the essays, which are directed to historians and philosophers of  mathematics as well as to mathematicians who are concerned with the  foundations of their subject, are preceded by a lengthy historical  introduction. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1994-09-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792326892\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-015-8248-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 234cm x156cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 288\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45416678359180,"sku":"9780792326892","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792326892.jpg?v=1775704073","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792326892","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
