内容説明・目次

内容説明

Emphasizes the approach to mathematics rather than an explanation of the hows and whys of the subject. The author argues that maths is analogous to a fairyland ruled by logic, and that the only restraint on what math can provide is the reader's lack of imagination in using its principles.
