520 1 $a"Loren Graham and Jean-Michel Kantor take us on an exciting mathematical mystery tour as they unravel a bizarre tale of political struggles, mathematical competition, psychological crises, sexual complexities, and ethical dilemmas. At the core of this book is the contest between French and Russian mathematicians who sought new answers to one of the oldest puzzles in math: the nature of infinity. Naming Infinity is both a compelling episode in the history of mathematics and a poignant human interest story that raises provocative questions about science and religion, intuition and creativity."--BOOK JACKET.
