How can the infinite, a subject remote from finite experience, be an everyday tool for working mathematicians? Blending history, philosophy, mathematics, and logic, Lavine answers this question with clarity. He demonstrates that knowledge of the infinite is possible, even according to strict standards requiring some intuitive basis for knowledge.
