CANTOR, GEORG

Additional reading Gesammelte Abhandlungen, ed. by Ernst Zermelo (1932), contains the collected works of Cantor edited by an authority on set theory. For biographical information, see Eric T. Bell, Men of Mathematics (1937, reprinted 1961), a well-developed history of mathematics with a full chapter on Cantor; Dirk J. Struik, A Concise History of Mathematics (1948), which discusses the principal mathematicians of the times and their influence on Cantor; and Herbert Meschkowski, Denkweisen grosser Mathematiker (1961; Ways of Thought of Great Mathematicians, 1964), which devotes a chapter to an elementary account of Cantor's theory of sets.
