ABSTRACT
The fundamental thesis of the following pages, that mathematics
and logic are identical, is one which I have never since seen any
reason to modify.
The Principles of Mathematics Introduction to the
1937 second edition
In a popular children’s book The Number Devil we are introduced to a “Lord Rustle.” The story is about a boy, Robert, struggling to come to appreciate the mysteries of number. In a series of dreams, Robert meets the number devil, who asks him to go easy on his teacher, Mr. Bockel.
