More about the book

Focusing on the process of mathematical discovery, this work presents a heuristic philosophy of mathematics as an alternative to mainstream views that emphasize finished mathematics. It critiques the traditional belief that mathematics is solely about theorem proving through axiomatic methods, arguing that this perspective fails to encompass essential aspects of the discipline, particularly in light of Gödel's incompleteness theorems. The author advocates for a philosophy that embraces the dynamic and creative nature of mathematical practice.
