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
