Mathematics: The Science of Patterns - The Search for Order in Life, Mind and the Universe ("Scientific American" Library) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Mathematics is more usefully understood as the study of patterns - real or imagined, visual or mental, arising from the natural world or from within the human mind. With a minimum of formulae and no elaborate formal proofs, Devlin presents mathematics as a unique human endeavour that helps us to understand the universe and ourselves.
