Mathematics And Common Sense A Case of Creative Tension

From the Preface: This book is addressed to all who are curious about the nature of mathematics and its role in society. It is neither a text book nor a specialists' book. It consists of a number of loosely linked essays that may be read independently and for which I have tried to provide a leitmotif by throwing light on the relationship between mathematics and common sense. In these essays I hope to foster a critical attitude towards both the existence of common sense in mathematics and the ambiguous role that it can play.Davis, Philip J. is the author of 'Mathematics And Common Sense A Case of Creative Tension', published 2006 under ISBN 9781568812700 and ISBN 1568812701.
