Mathematica

David Bessis offers an illuminating guide toward deeper mathematical comprehension, reconnecting us with the mental plasticity we experienced as children.

With simple, concrete examples, Bessis shows how mathematical comprehension is integral to the great learning milestones of life, such as learning to see, to speak, to walk, and to eat with a spoon.

Focusing on the deeply human roots of mathematics, Bessis dispels the myths of mathematical genius and offers an engaging initiation into the experience of math not as a series of discouragingly incomprehensible logic problems but as a physical activity akin to yoga, meditation, or a martial art.

This perspective will change the way you think not only about math but also about intelligence, intuition, and everything that goes on inside your head.
