Everything and More: A Compact History of InfinityIs infinity a valid mathematical property or a meaningless abstraction? The nineteenth century mathematical genius Georg Cantor's answer to this question not only surprised him but also shook the very foundations upon which math had been built. Cantor's counterintuitive discovery of a progression of larger and larger infinities created controversy in his time and may have hastened his mental breakdown, but it also helped lead to the development of set
Is infinity a valid mathematical property or a meaningless abstraction? The nineteenth-century mathematical genius Georg Cantor's answer to this question not only surprised him but also shook the very foundations upon which math had been built. Cantor's counterintuitive discovery of a progression of larger and larger infinities created controversy in his time and may have hastened his mental breakdown, but it also helped lead to the development of set theory, analytic philosophy, and even computer technology.
Smart, challenging, and thoroughly rewarding, Wallace's tour de force brings immediate and high-profile recognition to the bizarre and fascinating world of higher mathematics.

Solves the problem of the ground location.
Color: White, Size: 5FT
In the master bath a lot of things need power. It really helps to be able to rotate the plug head to leave room for other devices.

Fabulous idea!
Color: White, Size: 3FT(13A)
I needed to puppy proof my sewing room. It has 4 stations for various machines and ironing. Lots of cords including TV, dyson vacuum, and computer. I bought two sizes, For my house the shorter one works from the standard wall outlet to above desks, ets. That included a small curve for positioning. There are 4 outlets, surge protected and c and a. My only con is the size. It is a very thick size. For something on the wall I wanted it flatter. The cord is a flat cord, and it came with connectors to put on the wall to contain the cords. If it were flatter it would be perfect. It is a bit bulky. It sure is very functional for all my needs. I also bought one of the stick ones which I would not do again. Heavy and even bigger to contend with. They both work well, It would depend on your own needs for the cord size. But certainly a good idea and the price is even better.

Does the job well
Color: White, Size: 1.5FT(13A)
I needed this as my wall outlet wasn't located near enough to my needs. Since it does exactly what the listing describes so, from my point of view, it gets 5 stars. Price was good. Well made.

So convenient
Color: White, Size: 5FT
Perfect function for my charging system and the length is a right to my night stand. I like that it has surge protection, also I can plug in my phone and watch charger directly. I would buy it again next time.
