How Mathematicians Think : Using Ambiguity, Contradiction, And Paradox To Create Mathematics

Attribution
William Byers
Publication Details
Book, Princeton University Press, 2007
Links
Description
A unique examination of this less-familiar aspect of mathematics, How Mathematicians Think reveals that mathematics is a profoundly creative activity and not just a body of formalized rules and results. The creative dimensions of mathematical work have great implications for our notions of mathematical and scientific truth, and How Mathematicians Think provides a novel approach to many fundamental questions.

What Counts : How Every Brain Is Hardwired For Math

Attribution
Brian Butterworth
Publication Details
Book, Free Press, 1999
Description
In What Counts, Brian Butterworth combines his unique expertise in cognitive neuroscience with his broad knowledge of mathematics to offer a completely original picture of how our brains do math. Butterworth illustrates his cognitive model of math with enlightening examples from the history of mathematics and its many anomalies. The implications of Butterworth’s advances in fundamental concepts of mathematical thinking are profound — for our understanding of how our minds work, how we can lead our children to a deeper understanding of mathematics, and even how formal education could be better structured on the basis of what counting really is.
