Epstein Secrets

more complex than they first appear. They are infinite, yet there are different infinities, and they have meaning. The smallpox example above and the Turing numbers we will discover shortly suggest numbers do have meaning independent of culture and language. The next two chapters will show us what happens

In the 1930s almost all mathematics, accounting, and code-breaking were performed by humans using pencil and paper. I

To put it back in Brooks’ language, accidental creep is fine — provided you add some resource. Essential creep is not. Adding the french language prompts to a project in Engl
