Sinopsis
Discover how mathematics reveals the hidden order behind nature, not just formulas.
This introduction presents mathematics as an abstract, universal science that underpins exact thought. It explains why the subject matters beyond sums and proofs, showing how general ideas connect real phenomena and how mathematics helps describe the world in a neutral, shared language.
From arithmetic and algebra to geometry and beyond, the text traces how ideas become powerful tools for understanding order, change, and law. It emphasizes clarity, concept over mere technique, and the way mathematical thinking underpins scientific explanation.
- See why arithmetic applies to tastes, sounds, and physical objects alike.
- Learn how algebra uses symbols to express general relationships.
- Explore the evolution of geometry and the rise of modern coordinate and projective ideas.
- Understand the role of abstract thinking in formulating universal laws that describe the world.
Ideal for readers seeking a clear, practical view of how mathematics shapes our understanding of reality.

Reseña del editor
The important applications of the science, the theoretical interest of its ideas, and the logical rigour of its methods, all generate the expectation of a speedy introduction to processes of interest. We are told that by its aid the stars are weighed and the billions of molecules in a drop of water are counted. Yet, like the ghost of Hamlet sfather, this great science eludes the efforts of our mental weapons to grasp it Tis here, tis there, tis gone and what we do see does not suggest the same excuse for illusiveness as sufficed for the ghost, that it is too noble for our gross methods.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. [From the library of noted scholar William E. Connolly.] Softcover. Good binding and cover. Shelf wear. Corner creased. Clean, unmarked pages. "William E. Connolly is Krieger-Eisenhower Professor in the political science department at Hopkins where he teaches political theory. His early book, The Terms of Political Discourse, was awarded the Benjamin Lippincott Award in 1999 as 'a work of exceptional quality that is still considered significant at least 15 years after publication.' In a poll of American political theorists published in PS in 2010, he was ranked the fourth most influential political theorist in America over the last twenty years, after Rawls, Habermas, and Foucault. His work focuses on the issues of democratic pluralism, capitalism, inequality, fascism, and bumpy intersections between capitalism and planetary amplifiers in climate change." - Johns Hopkins University.
