Estratto
Negli ultimi anni sono stati pubblicati numerosi libri divulgativi sulla matematica. I migliori tra questi hanno aiutato il grande pubblico a capire come sono fatti i matematici e cosa fanno di professione. Ogni scienza ha la sua cultura e quella della matematica è abbastanza sui generis. Come ha detto Henri Poincaré: La matematica è quell’attività in cui la mente umana sembra assorbire di meno dal mondo esterno, in cui agisce o sembra agire da e per sè stessa, cosicché studiando il pensiero geometrico possiamo sperare di raggiungere ciò che è essenziale alla mente dell’uomo”.
