How Mathematicians Think: Using Ambiguity, Contradiction, and Paradox to Create Mathematics
William Byers
To many outsiders, mathematicians appear to think like computers, grimly grinding away with a strict formal logic and moving methodically - even algorithmically - from one black-and-white deduction to another. This book reveals that mathematics is a profoundly creative activity and not just a body of formalized rules and results.
