Item description from seller

Neuware - One of the world’s most creative mathematicians offers a?new way to look at math—focusing on questions, notanswers???? ??

Written with intelligence and passion,?Is Math Real ?brings us math as?we’ve?never seen it before, revealing how profound insights can?emerge?from?seemingly unlikely?sources.????.…
