Inhaltsangabe
We have learnt that there is safety in numbers. Our understanding of the world around us has grown with our appreciation of its habits and repetitions. We live in a world of consequences rather than coincidences. This understanding of the way the world is founded upon our discovery of the power and utility of "number" in unravelling its innermost workings. From the farthest reaches of space to the inner space of elementary particles of matter we have found the world to dance to a mathematical tune. This book takes a philosophical look at mathematics, and asks whether it is just a human invention, a discovery, part of the mind of God, or a game played on paper with any rules we like. It should be of interest to physicists, philosophers of science, and general readers.

Zustand: Bueno. : Pi in the Sky de John D. Barrow es una exploración profunda y diferente del mundo de las matemáticas: de dónde viene, qué es y a dónde nos llevará si la seguimos hasta el límite en nuestra búsqueda del significado último del universo. Barrow comienza investigando si las matemáticas son una invención puramente humana inspirada en nuestras necesidades prácticas, o si es algo inherente a la naturaleza esperando ser descubierto. Al responder a estas preguntas, Barrow proporciona un puente entre los mundos usualmente irreconciliables de las matemáticas y la teología. A lo largo del camino, nos ofrece una historia del conteo en todo el mundo, desde los jeroglíficos egipcios hasta la fricción lógica, desde el misticismo numérico hasta las matemáticas marxistas. Y nos presenta a una serie de individuos peculiares que han pensado algunos de los pensamientos más profundos y extraños que las mentes humanas han pensado, desde Lao-Tse hasta Robert Pirsig, Charles Darwin y Umberto Eco. Barrow proporciona así el marco histórico y las herramientas intelectuales necesarias para una comprensión de algunos de los conceptos matemáticos más importantes de la actualidad.
