In this book, published by Cambridge University Press, 1996, Hintikka argues that several fundamental concepts in the philosophy of mathematics should be revised. Hintikka replaces the ordinary ...

Tessellations aren’t just eye-catching patterns—they can be used to crack complex mathematical problems. By repeatedly reflecting shapes to tile a surface, researchers uncovered a method that links ...

Reverse mathematics is a vibrant programme in mathematical logic that investigates the axioms necessary to establish fundamental theorems throughout mathematics. Central to this endeavour are ...

Artists make professions out of the belief that there are many ways of seeing. As it turns out, mathematicians believe the same thing—and they have the formulas to prove it. For Dutch-born, US-based ...
