我喜欢这本书。它讲解清晰，易于理解。用数值进行试验，用自己的方式从观察结果中猜测，最后完成证明。 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　——Jurgen Bierbrauer, 密歇根理工大学 　　本书每一章非常简短而且自成体系，很容易从中挑选我喜爱的主题。本书写作风格独特，书中提供了极佳的示例，以引出定理的叙述和证明。这种风格非常适合于数论的初级课程。 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　——Maureen Fenrick, 明尼苏达州立大学曼凯托分校 　　本书面向非数学专业学生，讲述了有关数论的知识，教给他们如何用数学方法思考问题，同时介绍了目前数学研究的前沿课题。本书采用轻松的写作风格，并包括大量数值示例。对于定理的证明，则强调证明方法而不仅仅是得到特定的结果。

Renowned linguist George Lakoff pairs with psychologist Rafael Nuñez in the first book to provide a serious study of the cognitive science of mathematical ideas. This book is about mathematical ideas, about what mathematics means-and why. Abstract ideas, for the most part, arise via conceptual metaphor-metaphorical ideas projecting from the way we function in the everyday physical world. Where Mathematics Comes From argues that conceptual metaphor plays a central role in mathematical ideas within the cognitive unconscious-from arithmetic and algebra to sets and logic to infinity in all of its forms.
