5.0 out of 5 stars A remarkable insight into the way the Mind creates Maths., 7 Oct 2000
By A Customer
Dehaene tell it like it is. His writing style is a pleasure to read. The book is full of excellent 'real' world examples and anecdotes. This book is a must for anybody interested in the development of mathematics and how as human beings we create maths.
