Mathematician Ian Stewart tells readers what he wishes he had known
when he was a student. He takes up subjects ranging from the
philosophical to the practical-what mathematics is and why it's
worth doing, the relationship between logic and proof, the role of
beauty in mathematical thinking, the future of mathematics, how to
deal with the peculiarities of the mathematical community, and many
others.
