Just came across this one - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0762419229/?tag=pfamazon01-20. Has anyone had a change to read it?

the expression "god created the integers, all else is the work of man" is kronecker's. he was one of cantor's leading anagonists.JasonRox said:Hawking's got to stop stealing the God expressions from Einstein.
I've also seen another version in which he seems to have said that "God created the natural numbers...". I first came across this in a book on number theory by David Burton. Wikipedia seems to agree with you, though.fourier jr said:the expression "god created the integers, all else is the work of man" is kronecker's. he was one of cantor's leading anagonists.
The title of Stephen Hawking's latest book on mathematics is "The Grand Design".
The main focus of "The Grand Design" is to explore the fundamental laws of the universe and how they are described by mathematics.
Yes, "The Grand Design" is written in a way that is accessible to readers without a strong background in mathematics. Hawking and co-author Leonard Mlodinow use everyday language and analogies to explain complex concepts.
Some key topics covered in "The Grand Design" include the history of scientific discoveries, the role of mathematics in understanding the universe, and the concept of the multiverse.
"The Grand Design" offers a unique perspective on the intersection of mathematics and physics, and presents new ideas and theories that could potentially advance our understanding of the universe and its mathematical laws.
