[math-fun] interesting-looking new book

http://press.princeton.edu/titles/8479.html blurb: "A Certain Ambiguity is an amazing narrative that glows with a vivid sense of the beauty and wonder of mathematics. The narrator is deeply troubled by the ancient question of whether the objects and theorems of mathematics have a reality independent of human minds. Mixing fiction with nonfiction, A Certain Ambiguity is a veritable history of mathematics disguised as a novel. Starting with the Pythagorean theorem, it moves through number theory and geometry to Cantor's alephs, non-Euclidean geometry, Gödel, and even relativity."--Martin Gardner -- Thane Plambeck tplambeck@gmail.com http://www.plambeck.org/ehome.htm
