Item description from seller

Entire volume offered. 137 pp; illus. Original printed wrappers. Very Good+. 'His last publication was in Penguin Science News, written like a modern Scientific American article, and entitled Solvable and unsolvable problems. Written vividly but from the perspective of a pure mathematician, its final words concerned the interpretation of unsolvable problems, such as the halting problem for Turing machines' (Andrew Hodges, 'Alan Turing: one of The Great Philosophers'; on Alan Turing Home Page).
