The Mathematics of the Gods and the Algorithms of Men: A Cultural History
by Paolo Zellini (Author),
Pegasus Books (Publisher)
Product Specifications
Book Description
Is mathematics a discovery or an invention? Have we invented numbers or do they
truly exist? What sort of reality should we attribute to them? Mathematics has
always been a way of understanding and ordering the world: from sacred ancient
texts and pre-Socratic philosophers to twentieth-century logicians such as
Russell and Frege and beyond.
In this masterful, elegant book, mathematician and philosopher Paolo Zellini
offers a brief cultural and intellectual history of mathematics, from ancient
Greece to India to our contemporary obsession with algorithms, showing how
mathematical thinking is inextricably linked with philosophical, existential and
religious questions--and indeed with our cosmic understanding of the world.
