The mathematical experience Gian-Carlo Rota, Philip J. Davis, Reuben Hersh
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Company

I haven't read this version, but the original one, without the study questions is a very good survey. Hofstadter is not inimical to mathematics as the lingua franca of science, which we think is detrimental to human thought, and a contrivance that is unreal, a concoction that gives scientists a mantle of authority that it doesn't really deserve. [quoting Davis and Hersh's book The Mathematical Experience, pg. In mathematics usually includes 10 to 15 classroom courses! (reference “The Mathematical Experience", Davis and Hersh, 1981.) ] 8. Math is bogus, and used by science to make . We tend to think of mathematics as uniquely rigorous, and of mathematicians as supremely smart. Have you designed the user interface so that the user can experience the mathematical content in as simple and direct a way as possible? So overall the mathematical experience was fruitful, while a bit frustrating. Capitalism based on numbers may or may not be valid, according to whether or not numbers are valid, real, existent, independent of the human mind. Brown emphasizes that many of these writers start with a premise that is basically sound (and with which the present reviewer fully agrees): both science in general and mathematics in particular are unavoidably human enterprises, and are subject to all the varieties of human weakness. It is an even more impossible task to listen to five or more condensed graduate courses every day. It occurred to me that this situation is remarkably similar to the position that we find ourselves in mathematics education, at least in the k to 12 level. That is what the new Study Edition of The Mathematical Experience is for. My own opinion is that the study for the Master of Science degree is the most intensive learning experience in the mathematical sciences. There are numerous instances of major errors in mathematical .
