How We Understand Mathematics: Conceptual Integration in the Language of Mathematical Description By Jacek WoźnyEnglish | PDF,EPUB | 2018 | 122 Pages | ISBN : 3319776878 | 2.89 MB
This volume examines mathematics as a product of the human mind and analyzes the language of "pure mathematics" from various advanced-level sources. Through analysis of the foundational texts of mathematics, it is demonstrated that math is a complex literary creation, containing objects, actors, actions, projection, prediction, planning, explanation, evaluation, roles, image schemas, metonymy, conceptual blending, and, of course, (natural) language.
