Issue 39 of Plus is now out!
http://plus.maths.org
In this issue we venture to the very extremes of human experience. We explore
the life and work of Kurt Goedel, who would have turned a hundred this year,
and who stunned the maths world by pinning down the limits of logic. We tremble
with NASA astronaut Michael Foale, as he tells us of a space odyssey that
depended on three little equations. We map out the future of life after
Armageddon. And we find out what on Earth to do with a group.
