"This book is no more than Principia Mathematica condensed into words. Why give it more than 1 star? Well it still has a good amount of material in it, some very valuable material at that. It's a very dry read, but a decent overview of some of the theory that results from viewing math as a branch of logic."
"Pushes mathematical understanding to its limits - and it does have limits. Mathematics does not stand alone outside the human frame of reference - not independent of us as we would like to believe, and I still mentally operate as though it does."
"I finally finished this short book. You really have to love this stuff in order to commit to reading it and philosophical meanderings of this sort are not my thing. This book seems more of an esoteric digression than a practical assistance to those trying to understand and employ math. The Goodreads description of this book reports that it is a seminal work, but not for me. Perhaps I am too limited in my scope of appreciation because elements of the book remind me of "database" theory, e.g. one to one, one to many, many to many and so forth."
