Anyone who actually reads the entire text of this book deserves a medal for endurance. It is extremely repetitive and awash with vague philosophical remarks that have no substance.

This is a partial review and will be updated when I've completed reading the book.I'm only about fifty pages in and I have somewhat mixed feelings.

Mathematics is a fascinating subject. I am not a mathematician, but deal enough with it in my chosen profession to be constantly amazed by how logical the application of mathematics to proving a theorem or analyzing an algorithm turns out to be.
