Greek philosopher Zeno of Elea once claimed that Achilles can never overtake the Tortoise in a footrace...And that was the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Friends in paradox, they meet literature and mythical characters and give us the opportunity to look at these characters with fresh eyes and from a completely different angle.

Calculus is the study of the infinite and since much of secondary mathematics is designed to prepare one for the study of calculus, wrestling with the ideas of the infinite, even if informally, is extremely important for a student's mathematical development. That is the purpose of this book. Among the first to discuss these ideas was the Greek philosopher / mathematician Zeno, and not long after him, Archimedes came the closest to "discovering" Calculus without the tools of modern mathematics. Though none of Zeno's actual writings survive, Aristotle recorded accounts of Zeno's thoughts on the infinite, time and space in what have come to be known as Zeno's Paradoxes. One of those specifically involves the idea of a race in which a slower runner is given a head start and investigates the possibilities of the faster runner "catching up." This has come to be known as "Achilles and the Tortoise." These characters are our hosts as we use Geometry Expressions to investigate Archimedes methods, ideas of the infinite, and Zeno's Paradoxes in an introduction to Calculus, without using Calculus.

When a tortoise challenges a great Greek hero to use his logic in order to decipher a simple philosophical argument, slight chaos ensues. ‘What the Tortoise Said to Achilles’ is an endless cycle of suppositions and deductions. A refined piece of philosophical writing, Caroll’s discussion was one of the first steps towards paradoxically explaining logical truth. His clever prose makes this novel an essential read for budding philosophers and logic aficionados. Lewis Caroll (1832-1898) was a British author. He was famed for his novel ‘Alice in Wonderland' and its sequel ‘Through the Looking-Glass’. Both of which have been successfully adapted to film and stage. Aside from this, he was also a mathematician, professional photographer, and clergyman. His colorful plotlines, powerful imagery, and endless imagination earned him the title of one of the most notable authors of the nineteenth century. Among his other notable works are the poetic collection "Phantasmagoria and Other Poems", the poem "The Hunting of the Snark", and the fairy novel "Sylvie and Bruno".

In critiquing Twain's humor in his fiction, Griffith (English, U. of Oregon) contends that he essentially told the same "sick" joke repeatedly without resolution-- like Achilles who could not overtake the tortoise in Zeno's Paradox. He concludes with Mark Twain and Melville: An Essay on the Metaphysics of Twinship. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
