The Continuum As A Type Of Order: An Exposition Of The Modern Theory (1905)

By Edward Vermilye Huntington

Book Overview

The book ""The Continuum As A Type Of Order: An Exposition Of The Modern Theory"" was written by Edward Vermilye Huntington in 1905. The book is an exposition of the modern theory of the continuum as a type of order. The author discusses the concept of the continuum, which is a mathematical concept that refers to an unbroken sequence of points or values that extend infinitely in both directions. Huntington explores the idea of the continuum as a type of order, which means that it is a set of elements that are arranged in a specific way. He discusses the different types of orders that exist in mathematics, such as the linear order and the partial order. The author also delves into the concept of the Dedekind cut, which is a method of defining real numbers using sets of rational numbers. The book is written in a clear and concise manner, making it accessible to both mathematicians and non-mathematicians alike. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the concepts of order and continuity in mathematics. Overall, ""The Continuum As A Type Of Order"" is an important contribution to the field of mathematical theory and is still relevant today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
