Abstract

Before we dive into the book, we are warned that this is not a typical math popularization book; it won't gush about genius mathematicians, nor will it simplify any fashionable math into meaningless drivel. Another possible issue some may raise about the book is its identification of mathematics with proof and its identification of proof with Greek mathematics. Lolli here aims to convince us that even a formalist perspective on mathematics can coexist with the conception of mathematics as a narrative. What do you think of when you read the phrase "mathematics as storytelling?". [Extracted from the article]
