Seller's Description:
Fine with no dust jacket. 0199640106. With illustrations. Light shelfwear.; "The Philosophy of Mathematical Practice, " edited by Paolo Mancosu, offers a comprehensive examination of the diverse methods, implications, and philosophical inquiries associated with the practice of mathematics. This anthology compiles essays from prominent philosophers of mathematics, each addressing different aspects of mathematical practice such as proof, abstraction, tools, and the role of computation in mathematics. The book challenges the traditional, purely abstract view of mathematics by delving into how mathematicians actually work, including their use of symbols, the importance of visualization, and how they conceive structures and proofs. This approach brings to light the often-overlooked empirical processes involved in mathematical reasoning and highlights the human elements of intuition and creativity. Mancosu's collection stands out for its emphasis on understanding the epistemological and ontological issues arising from practical mathematical activities. It discusses how these practices influence the development of mathematical theories and contribute to philosophical debates about the nature of mathematics itself. Ideal for students and scholars of philosophy and mathematics, "The Philosophy of Mathematical Practice" provides valuable insights into the real-world dynamics of mathematical investigation, making a significant contribution to the field of philosophy of mathematics.; Octavo; xii, 447 pages.
