This truly philosophical book returns us to the basics - the clearly experience of evidence and the mysterious attitude of mathematics to nature. He asks unexpected questions: what makes mathematics mathematics? Where did the proof come from and how did it develop? How did the difference arose between clean and applied mathematics?
In a wide spectrum, the discussion, which is both immersed in the past and unusually adapted to competing philosophical ideas of modern mathematicians, shows that evidence and other forms of mathematical research continue to live, developing in accordance with practices that meet modern technologies, and all This is due to constant (and amazing) facts about people.
He distinguishes several different types of mathematics and shows how each of them leads to various philosophical puzzles. Here, new philosophical thoughts about evidence, applications and other mathematical actions are noteworthy.
