Klappentext zu „Mathematics and the Aesthetic “
This collection of essays explores the ancient affinity between the mathematical and the aesthetic, focusing on fundamental connections between these two modes of reasoning and communicating. From historical, philosophical and psychological perspectives, with particular attention to certain mathematical areas such as geometry and analysis, the authors examine ways in which the aesthetic is ever-present in mathematical thinking and contributes to the growth and value of mathematical knowledge.Inhaltsverzeichnis zu „Mathematics and the Aesthetic “

Rezension zu „Mathematics and the Aesthetic “
From the reviews:"The essays in this book represent diverse reflections on attempts to ground the aesthetics that operate within mathematical practice and to account for their origins. ... Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates; faculty." (D. V. Feldman, CHOICE, Vol. 44 (11), July, 2007)"Mathematics and the Aesthetic is a heavy book. I mean this in the literal sense: at 288 pages, it weighs 721 grams. ... high-quality paper is matched by a sense of attention to detail throughout. The color pictures are ... well presented; the text is easy to read. ... Enter Sinclair, Pimm, and Higginson. ... assembled a group of scholars with diverse academic credentials: philosophers, math educators, and (yes) research mathematicians. ... Mathematics and the Aesthetic is a thoughtful collection of essays ... ." (Annalisa Crannell, Notices of the AMS, Vol. 56 (2), February, 2010)
