Yearning for the Impossible: The Surprising Truth of Mathematics,
Second Edition explores the history of mathematics from the
perspective of the creative tension between common sense and the
"impossible" as the author follows the discovery or invention of
new concepts that have marked mathematical progress. The author
puts these creations into a broader context involving related
"impossibilities" from art, literature, philosophy, and physics.
This new edition contains many new exercises and commentaries,
clearly discussing a wide range of challenging subjects.
