The Mathematical Experience (repost)

The Mathematical Experience by Philip J. Davis
English | New Ed edition (August 30, 1990) | ISBN: 0140134743 | Pages: 464 | DJVU | 11.6 MB

The book should be regarded not as a compression but rather as an impression. It is not a mathematics book; it is a book about mathematics. Inevitably it must contain some mathematics. Similarly, it is not a history or a philosophy book, but it will discuss mathematical history and philosophy.
It follows that the reader must bring to it some slight prior knowledge of these things and a seed of interest to plant and water.
