Sinossi
Excerpt from The Nature of Mathematics
To the question about the use of mathematics we may reply by pointing out two obvious consequences of one of the applica tions of mathematics: mathematics prevents much loss of life at sea, and increases the commercial prosperity of nations. Only a few men - a few intelligent philosophers and more amateur philosophers who are not highly intelligent - would doubt if these two things were indeed benefits. Still, probably, all of us act as if we thought that they were. Now, I do not mean that mathematicians go about with life-belts or serve behind counters they do not usually do so. What I mean I will now try to explain.

Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the development of mathematics from its practical origins to its present abstract formulations. The author shows that mathematics emerged as a way to solve problems, and was gradually abstracted into a self-contained body of knowledge. The book discusses the role of logic in mathematics, and the different ways that mathematics has been used to understand the natural world. The author argues that mathematics evolved as a tool to handle long and complex calculations efficiently. The book traces the development of mathematics from simple arithmetic to the complex methods used today, arguing that mathematics is an ongoing process that is constantly evolving. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the history of mathematics, making it a valuable resource for students and anyone interested in the subject. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
