The idea of infinity stands at the intersection of mathematics and philosophy. As da Vinci said, "Arithmetic is a computational science in its calculations, but it is of no avail in dealing with continuous quantity."The End of Infinity reviews the philosophical history of infinity, mathematics, numbers, and logic to demonstrate that the modern conception of infinity involves a logical and metaphysical contradiction that argues for a return to Aristotle's conception of potential infinity.
