Publisher's Synopsis
The Principles of Mathematics Volume 1 is a comprehensive and influential work in the field of mathematics, written by the renowned philosopher and mathematician Bertrand Russell. Originally published in 1903, this book lays out the foundational principles of mathematics that are still used today. Russell begins by defining and analyzing the concept of number, exploring the nature of mathematical symbols and their relationship to reality. He then moves on to discuss the principles of logic and sets, examining the properties of classes and relations. Throughout the book, Russell employs his famous theory of descriptions to analyze various mathematical concepts and arguments. He also introduces the concept of type theory, which would later become a fundamental concept in the development of mathematical logic. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the philosophy of mathematics, as well as for mathematicians and logicians seeking a deeper understanding of the foundational principles of their field. It remains a landmark work in the history of mathematical philosophy and a testament to Russell's genius and intellectual rigor.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
