About this ebook
In "Selected Mathematical Works: Symbolic Logic + The Game of Logic + Feeding the Mind," Lewis Carroll, the Victorian polymath renowned for his contributions to literature and mathematics, offers readers a fascinating confluence of logic and playful reasoning. This collection showcases Carroll's pioneering exploration of symbolic logic, employing a whimsical yet precise literary style that characterizes his approach. Through intricate puzzles and engaging games, he invites readers to explore the foundations of mathematical thought while entertaining the mind with the absurdity reminiscent of his fictional works. The nuanced interweaving of logic and creativity situates this collection within both the mathematical discourse of his time and the burgeoning field of logical philosophy. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, known to the world as Lewis Carroll, was a mathematician and logician whose academic pursuits significantly influenced his literary creations. His background in mathematics was complemented by a strong interest in the mechanics of language and reasoning, leading him to experiment with ideas that bridged these domains. His identity as both a scholar and a storyteller uniquely positioned him to illuminate complex logical principles through engaging narratives and games, making abstract concepts accessible to a broader audience. "Selected Mathematical Works" is an essential read for those interested in the intertwining of logic and literature. Carroll'Äôs ability to simplify complex ideas through playful reasoning not only broadens the reader's understanding of mathematics but also embodies the enduring connection between creativity and analytical thought. This book is a delightful invitation to see logic through the lens of imagination, making it indispensable for both students of mathematics and lovers of literature.
