How Mathematicians Think: Using Ambiguity, Contradiction, and Paradox to Create Mathematics The Sick Economist and went on to writeTo many outsiders, mathematicians appear to think like computers, grimly grinding away with a strict formal logic and moving methodically even algorithmically from one black and white deduction to another. Yet mathematicians often describe their most important breakthroughs as creative, intuitive responses to ambiguity, contradiction, and paradox. A unique examination of this less familiar aspect of mathematics, How Mathematicians Think reveals that
