Euclid in the rainforest: discovering universal truth in logic and math
New York, N.Y.: Pi Press (2005)
Abstract
Euclid in the Rainforest combines the literary with the mathematical to explore logic--the one indispensable tool in man's quest to understand the world. Mazur argues that logical reasoning is not purely robotic. At its most basic level, it is a creative process guided by our intuitions and beliefs about the world.Other Versions
