AMS, 2010. - 293 pages. From the Preface: This book is an attempt to look at mathematics from a new and somewhat unusual point of view. I have started to systematically record and analyze from a mathematical point of view various dif?culties experiencing by children in their early learning of mathematics. I hope that my approach will eventually allow me to gain a better understanding of how we—not only children, but adults, too — do mathematics...

And without mathematics our understanding of the universe would be vastly impoverished. But where did this nothing, this hol...
