Surreal Numbers – An Introduction

Claus Tøndering

4.9/5 (32107 ratings)

Description:Surreal numbers are fascinating for several reasons. They are built on an extremely simple and small foundation, and yet they provide virtually all of the capabilities of ordinary real numbers. With surreal numbers we are able to (or rather, required to) actually prove things we normally take for granted, such as “x = x” or “x = y ⇒ x + z = y + z”. Furthermore, surreal numbers extend the real numbers with a tangible concept of infinity and infinitesimals (numbers that are smaller than any positive real number, and yet are greater than zero). With surreal numbers it makes sense to talk about “infinity minus 3”,“infinity to the third power”, or “the square root of infinity”.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
