Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The mathematics presented in this volume goes beyond the facts, formulas and algorithms that most students associate with mathematics to a presentation of mathematics as an intellectual discipline with human perspective and a history that matters. Humanistic mathematics challenges dogmatic teaching styles that expect students to parrot the lecturer. It demands creativity from both the teacher and student.Humanistic mathematics carries with it an awareness of and a sensitivity to those things mathematics shares with the other humanities. Humanistic dimensions of mathematics include:An appreciation of the role of intuition in understanding and creating concepts that appear in their finished version, to be the result of a 'merelytechnical' process.An understanding of the value judgements in the growth of any discipline. Logic alone never completely accounts for what is investigated, or why it is investigated.The movement, which began as the personal vision of a few, has now become a major part of mathematical culture. What was viewed with skepticism is now accepted and expected. Humanistic mathematics is a recent rediscovery of an idea that goes back to Plato, D' Alembert, Wilder, Bronowski, Cassirer.....It has provided a vocabulary for previously unarticulated concepts and approaches.There are no answers to the question, 'what is important in mathematics?' We can only ask what is important in mathematics to human beings with given abilities and limitations at a given point in their mathematical development.
