Mindmatics invites readers into a captivating exploration where the boundaries between mind and mathematics dissolve. Professor Neuman delves into the profound connections between cognitive processes and mathematical expression in this groundbreaking work. From how children grasp abstract concepts to symmetry's role in art and mathematics, this book uncovers the hidden structures that shape our understanding of the world. With insightful discussions on the relationship between poetry and mathematics and the essential role of the unconscious in fostering mathematical imagination, Mindmatics offers a unique perspective on the interplay of thought, creativity, and logic. This book is a must-read for anyone curious about the deeper links between the human mind and the mathematical universe.
Yair Neuman is a Professor at The Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences and the Zlotowski Center for Neuroscience at Ben-Gurion University. He holds a BA in Psychology (Major) and Philosophy (Minor) and a PhD in Cognition (Hebrew University, 1999), and his expertise is in studying complex cognitive, social, and symbolic systems from a unique interdisciplinary approach. Professor Neuman has published numerous papers and five academic books and has been a visiting scholar or professor at MIT, the University of Toronto, the University of Oxford, and the Weizmann Institute of Science.
