Mathematics: The Loss of Certainty

[issacnewton]

Hi

I am currently reading the book "Mathematics: The Loss of Certainty" by Morris Kline ,who is
Professor Emeritus at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University.
I downloaded the book from some free site.

Here is product description from amazon.com

This work stresses the illogical manner in which mathematics has developed, the question of applied mathematics as against 'pure' mathematics, and the challenges to the consistency of mathematics' logical structure that have occurred in the twentieth century.

Basically , the book is discussing some kind of crisis in modern mathematics. Author says that
current mathematicians are not sure about the logical validity of many things in mathematics.
Well, thats what I understood to be the main theme.
So, I am wondering, what are the repercussions of this mathematical
uncertainty for physics ?

Here's amazon link for the book.

The reviews are good.

Can you give an example of what type of uncertainty they have? I'm not really sure how you can even have mathematic uncertainty honestly. Is this a new book? Could I find it in a local book store?
