    Book, W.H. Freeman and Co, 2000
  • Description

    Just as bird guides help watchers tell birds apart by their color, songs, and behavior, The Kingdom of Infinite Number is the perfect handbook for identifying numbers in their native habitat. For example, one field mark of the number 6 is that it is the first perfect number the sum of its divisors (1,2, and 3) is equal to the number itself. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)

What Counts : How Every Brain Is Hardwired For Math

  • 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.
