📱 eBook en inglés THE MATH GENE

How Mathematical Thinking Evolved And Why Numbers Are Like Gossip

Basic Books- 9780786725083

Sinopsis de THE MATH GENE

If people are endowed with a "number instinct" similar to the "language instinct" -- as recent research suggests -- then why cant everyone do math? In The Math Gene, mathematician and popular writer Keith Devlin attacks both sides of this question. Devlin offers a breathtakingly new theory of language development that describes how language evolved in two stages and how its main purpose was not communication. Devlin goes on to show that the ability to think mathematically arose out of the same symbol-manipulating ability that was so crucial to the very first emergence of true language. Why, then, cant we do math as well as we speak? The answer, says Devlin, is that we can and do -- we just dont recognize when were using mathematical reasoning.
