Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy

Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy is a book (1919 first edition) by philosopher Bertrand Russell, in which the author seeks to create an accessible introduction to various topics within the foundations of mathematics.

[1] Accordingly, it is often used in introductory philosophy of mathematics courses at institutions of higher education.

[2][3] Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy was written while Russell was serving time in Brixton Prison due to his anti-war activities.

[4] The book deals with a wide variety of topics within the philosophy of mathematics and mathematical logic including the logical basis and definition of natural numbers, real and complex numbers, limits and continuity, and classes.
