(Research Institute for Mathematics, Maine) In this book, Pogorzelski depicts what he takes to be Weyl’s Thesis, as presented in the work of Hermann Weyl, a German 20th century mathematician and theoretical physicist. Weyl’s Thesis is positioned within the context of the Bourbaki Thesis and the Classic Thesis, all of which offer different views on the reality of mathematics. Pogorzelski has been a professor of mathematics at the University of Maine for over 35 years. He is the director of the Research Institute for Mathematics, the only institution in Maine that grants doctoral degrees in mathematics.
