How Mathematicians Think reveals that mathematics is a profoundly creative activity & not just a body of formalized rules & results.

Nonlogical qualities, William Byers shows, play an essential role in mathematics. Ambiguities, contradictions, & paradoxes can arise when ideas developed in different contexts come into contact.

Ultimately, How Mathematicians Think, shows that the nature of mathematical thinking can teach us a great deal about the human condition itself.
