Subjects include logic, topology, abstract algebra, relativity theory, and reflections on the work of Weyl's mentor, David Hilbert.This original anthology assembles ten accessible essays by a giant of modern mathematics. Hermann Weyl (1885-1955) made lasting contributions to number theory as well as theoretical physics, and he was associated with Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study, the University of Göttingen, and ETH Zurich. Spanning the 1930s-50s, these articles offer insights into logic and relativity theory in addition to reflections on the work of Weyl's mentor, David Hilbert.Subjects include ""Topology and Abstract Algebra as Two Roads of Mathematical Comprehension,"" ""The Mathematical Way of Thinking,"" ""ReOriginal anthology features less-technical essays discussing logic, topology, abstract algebra, relativity theory, and the works of David Hilbert.
