Who else want to be successful in mathematics? Calculus often causes panic in students, but with this book, that soon can be a thing of the past. Full of clear explanations and written by a highly experienced and sympathetic teacher with many years of experience in preparing students for advanced mathematics examinations, this is a definite must-have book for all students studying mathematics.
Reuben Hersh argues the contrary, that mathematics must be understood as a human activity, a social phenomenon, part of human culture, historically evolved, and intelligible only in a social context. Hersh pulls the screen back to reveal mathematics as seen by professionals, debunking many mathematical myths, and demonstrating how the "humanist" idea of the nature of mathematics more closely resembles how mathematicians actually work.
Number Theory is more than a comprehensive treatment of the subject. It is an introduction to topics in higher level mathematics, and unique in its scope; topics from analysis, modern algebra, and discrete mathematics are all included.
Intuitionism: An Introduction (Study in Logic & Mathematics)
Intuitionistic mathematics involves discerning the truth of a given statement. This high-level introductory treatment assumes a strong mathematical background, bringing readers directly to the center of several different branches of intuitionistic mathematics. The author, a leader in the field of intuitionistic mathematics, employs condensed proofs and presumes a familiarity with classical theories. 1971 edition.
