Riassunto

<em>The Number Sense</em> is an enlightening exploration of the mathematical mind. Describing experiments that show that human infants have a rudimentary number sense, Stanislas Dehaene suggests that this sense is as basic as our perception of color, and that it is wired into the brain. Dehaene shows<br>that it was the invention of symbolic systems of numerals that started us on the climb to higher mathematics. A fascinating look at the crossroads where numbers and neurons intersect, <em>The Number Sense</em> offers an intriguing tour of how the structure of the brain shapes our mathematical abilities, and<br>how our mathematics opens up a window on the human mind.<br>
