Principia Mathematica

I understand people find these books to be a bit old and not an easy read. And you really need to start with volume one, since it provides a great discussion to start the reader off. And they are not a pleasure read. But you will learn alot, and the text and their discussions are priceless and definitive. This one is my favorite, it covers well-ordered series and ordinal numbers. Their notes are interesting and instructive Also vectors are in this volume. For 60.00 you can get the complete set on amazon.

We bought the three volume set of Principia Mathematica for the math genius son of one of our closest friends as a college graduation gift. After all, what do I know about gifts for math genius's. Apparently it was a very impressive gift and the WOW effect was achieved. The books arrived in truly "like new" condition (I think they were) and in the promised delivery time. What more can you ask for. Five star performance without reservation.

Me and My girlfriend, we are into philosophy and such, she wanted Principia Mathematica for a long time, she loves logic. I ordered and bought the book for her birthday. but just a heads up! I chose the nabu edition [with the clock on the cover] believing it was including all volumes , but I was wrong, this is volume III and I don't see any other vol. by nabu, which would help me complete the entire set. don't be fooled by this published edition. the cover is not specifying much either, nor it's details. this led me to a regretful confusion. Where I live the book isn't available and knowing how pricey it is, then I had no other choice but to buy it online. if you're going to buy one, for starters, go pick the one that says to *56 on the cover. don't be fooled by this version. not that is a bad thing, but it's just isn't enough nor satisfactory.

Once you get used to the notation it gets easier to read. Spoiler alert!: 1 +1 does = 2

I bought this as a gift for my husband who has wanted this set for a long time and we were both surprised and thrilled with the quality. I was worried when other reviewers has stated that the print was somewhat smudged or looked scanned. However, at least in our set, we did not experience this. Well worth the price!

There are lots of multi-paragraph reviews on this item, which are reviewing how wonderful is the work that is Principia Mathematica. That's nice.... I wonder if any of the people here bought THIS COPY of the book. Let me warn you as to what you are going to receive.... You'll receive the middle of the book. Chapters 3-5 to be exact. You're also paying good money for a scanned copy of a nearly 100-year old work. It is poorly cropped, with smudges everywhere, and many unreadable characters/sections. I purchased this to enjoy the challenge of the work, as the material itself is quite substantial. However part of that "challenge" should not be trying to determine one smudged symbol from another. It would also be nice to receive the beginning of the book (?) sort of a given that if you purchase something called "Principia Mathematica" - that one would receive the entire work.

Studying predicate logic and symbolic foundations, Vol III obviously completes the trilogy. Excellent -Excellent-Excellent.

Difficult but very comprehensive. Well worth the purchase.

Belíssima publicação da 2.a edição.

Great for maths students

Remarks: → This is only Part III. → There was no "revision", it is basically a bound printout of the original "scan. (Note: One shouldnot expect the last argument to be of high value in this case.) I gave "only" 4/5 because there was no information on the first point above.

英語は表現がシンプルなため日本語より遙かに理解しやすいのではと思いました。お値段も大変安く助かります。

I expected to receive volume 1, as there was no volume indication on the purchase page. Received volume 3, and have since discovered that volumes 1 and 2 in this edition are not available - anywhere. Do yourself a favour and do not purchase the this (Nabu Press) version.
