Book Synopsis Mathematics as Sign by : Brian Rotman
Book excerpt: In this book, Rotman argues that mathematics is a vast and unique man-made imagination machine controlled by writing. It addresses both aspects—mental and linguistic—of this machine. The essays in this volume offer an insight into Rotman's project, one that has been called "one of the most original and important recent contributions to the philosophy of mathematics."
