Recenzje

"The Psychology of Mathematics offers an innovative introduction to the often-ignored and less-discussed psychology of mathematics. The author-an award-winning mathematician, educator, and writer-uses an engaging and accessible style, thereby making the reading experience both enriching and revealing. The book, by virtue of its style and simplicity, is accessible to a nonmathematical audience, too." - Firdous Ahmad Mala, World Literature Today
