520 1 $a"Mathematics is a subject we are all exposed to in our daily lives, but one which many of us fear. In this introduction, Timothy Gowers elucidates the most fundamental differences, which are primarily philosophical,between advanced mathematics and what we learn at school, so that one emerges with a clearer understanding of such paradoxical-sounding concepts as 'infinity', 'curved space', and 'imaginary numbers'. From basic ideas, throughto philosophical queries, to common sociological questionsabout the mathematical community, this book unravels some of the mysteries of space and numbers."--BOOK JACKET.
