The continuum hypothesis, introduced by mathematician George Cantor in 1877, states that there is no set of numbers between the integers and real numbers. It was later included as the first of mathematician David Hilbert's twenty-three unsolved math problems. In this book, Kurt Godel sets forth his proof for this problem.

One of the greatest revolutions in mathematics occurred when Georg Cantor promulgated his theory of transfinite sets. His religious beliefs led him to expect paradoxes in any concept of the infinite. This work shows that these played an integral part in his understanding and defense of set theory.
