Introduction to My Book "Essays in Constructive Mathematics"
نویسنده
چکیده
The point of view of the book derives from Leopold Kronecker (1823-1891), whose views were quite consonant with those of MAP. Kronecker resisted the overthrow of the Aristotelian (and Gaussian) prohibition of completed infinites on the ground that the overthrow was unnecessary. In other words, he committed himself to doing mathematics without completed infinites, basing his work on algorithmic proofs and constructions. The book is divided into five parts, each being an algorithmic treatment of a different mathematical topic.
