To many outsiders, mathematicians appear to think like computers, grimly grinding away with a strict formal logic and moving methodically - even algorithmically - from one black-and-white deduction to another. This title reveals that mathematics is a creative activity and not just a body of formalized rules and results. With 6 halftones. 48 line illus.. Hardback, 425 pages. Size: 229 x 152 mm.

Presents a structural view of the nature of mathematics, and uses it to explain a number of features of mathematics that have puzzled philosophers. This work shows that, in order to understand how mathematical systems are applied in science, it is not necessary to assume that its theorems either presuppose mathematical objects or are even true.
