The author elaborates on the beauty, challenges and metamorphisms of thought that have accompanied the search for truth through proof.. .The first two chapters examine the early beginnings of concept of proof and the creation of its elegant structure and language, touching on some of the logic and philosophy behind these developments. The history then unfolds as the author explains the changing face of proofs. The more well-known proofs , the mathematicians behind them, and the world that surrounded them are all highlighted . Each story has its own unique past; there was often a philosophical, sociological, technological or competitive edge that restricted or promoted progress. But the author‘s commentary and insights create a seamless thread throughout the many vignettes.. .Though there are many truths to be discovered in this book, by the end it is clear that there is no formalized approach or standard method of discovery to date | | 出版日期 | Book 2011 | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-0-387-48744-1 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4939-3883-4 | | isbn_ebook | 978-0-387-48744-1 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2011 |
