"Where Mathematics Comes From is an unprecedented attempt to base advanced mathematics on the working of the brain. It may well be the beginning of a whole new direction in the philosophy of mathematics. It is beautifully written and a pleasure to read." -REUBEN HERSH Professor of Mathematics. University of New Mexico: co-author of The Mathematical Experience, author of What Mathematics Really? ?An unusually provocative naturalistic treatment of the foundations of mathematics based on lived experience and metaphor. It should force mathematicians to think harder about the foundations of their discipline." -FELIX BROWDER. President of American Mathematical Society: University Professor of Mathematics at Rutgers University. "This fascinating book pioneers the application of modern cognitive science to math ematics, building detailed support to the often-denied truth that mathematics is founded on human thought. By systematically attacking the central romantic mythology of mathematics, this book is certain to provoke heated controversy. but it has great promise, when the dust finally settles. to leave us better able to teach. to communicate and to think mathematics." -BILL THURSTON. Professor of Mathematics University of California. Davis and Fields Medal winner. "This is an important book, which challenges some deep-seated beliefs about the nature of mathematics. If Lakoff and Nunez are right, and I believe they are, then what they say has significant implications for mathematics education." -KEITH DEVLIN, author of The Math Gene: How Mathematical Thinking Evolved and Why Numbers Are Like Gossip.
