First edition of arguable Gödel's most important publications only second to his incompleteness theorem. The first problem of Hilbert's famous 1900 address asks for a proof of Cantor's continuum hypothesis. Hilbert considered this problem one of the most important problems confronting the mathematical world. As a first step towards such a proof Ernst Zermelo proved in 1904 another hypothesis by Cantor, namely that every set can be well ordered. In his proof Zermelo introduced a necessary tool which later became known as the axiom of choice. Because of its non-constructive nature this axiom, and the continuum hypothesis, became the object of much controversy in the mathematical community. Gödel's results on this topic are, besides his completeness and incompleteness theorems, his most celebrated. During the autumn terms of 1938 and 1939 Gödel delivered a series of lectures at the Institute for Advanced Study, in which he proved that the axiom of choice and the generalized continuum hypothesis are consistent with the other axioms of set theory if these axioms are consistent.

Twenty essays on the continuing and renewed relevance to medieval studies of Ruth Finnegan's concept of the orality-literacy continuum.<br>Ever since its introduction in the 1970s, Ruth Finnegan?s notion of the oral-written, or the oral-literate, continuum has served as one of the most effective means of dispelling the dichotomous understanding of the two principal media of communication in the Middle Ages. However, while often casually invoked, the concept has never been made a focus of study in its own right. The present volume is an attempt to place the oral-written continuum at the heart of discussion as an object of a head-on theoretical investigation, as a backdrop to distinct processes of acquisition of literacy in different European regions, and, indeed, as a tool for navigating the rugged landscape of verbal forms, exploring the complexity of oral-literary interrelationships that they manifest. The articles probe the concept with a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches, span diverse texts and genres, and involve a range of European cultural contexts, with special emphasis on Scandinavia and Northern Europe, but also reaching out to various other corners of the continent: from France, the Netherlands and England in the West, over Germany, Bohemia and Poland in the central region, to Serbia and Bosnia in the Southeast.

First printing of Hausdorff important paper in which a generalization of Cantor's Continuum Hypothesis was presented for the first time. This is equivalent to what is now called the Generalized Continuum Hypothesis.The continuum hypothesis is a hypothesis, put forth by Georg Cantor in 1877, about the possible sizes of infinite sets. It states: ""There is no set whose cardinality is strictly between that of the integers and that of the real numbers.""Felix Hausdorff is considered to be one of the founders of modern topology and he contributed significantly to set theory, descriptive set theory, measure theory, function theory, and functional analysis.

First editions. In this work Cohen established the independence of the Axiom of Choice (AC) from ZF and the independence of the Continuum Hypothesis (CH) from ZFC. This result is among the most outstanding achievements in 20th century mathematics. For this work Cohen was awarded the Fields Medal in 1966 and the National Medal of Science in 1967 the 1966 Fields Medal continues to be the only Fields Medal to have been awarded for a work in mathematical logic.
Religious Connectivity in Urban Communities (1400-1550). Reading, Worshipping, and Connecting through the Continuum of Sacred and Secular
, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, 285 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:2 b/w, 12 col., 5 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503590813.
Summary The boundaries between sacred and secular in the late Middle Ages, traditionally perceived as separate domains, are nowadays perceived as porous or non-existent. This collection on religious connectivity explores a new approach to religious culture in the late Middle Ages. In assessing the porosity of the domains of sacred and secular, and of religious and lay, the contributors to this collection investigate processes of transfer of religious knowledge, literature, and artefacts, and the people involved. Religious connectivity describes people in networks. This concept emphasises dynamics and processes rather than stability, and focuses on all persons involved in transfer and appropriation, not just the producers. It is therefore a fruitful concept by which to explore medieval society and the continuum of sacred and secular. By using the lens of religious connectivity, the authors of this collection shed new light on religious activities and religious culture in late medieval urban communities.
