Discrete Thoughts

Essays on Mathematics, Science and Philosophy

Mark Kac

"Discrete Thoughts" explores the difficulty of telling the truth in a world where facts are abundant but imagination and creativity are lacking. With a focus on the field of mathematics, the book argues that the true essence of the subject is often hidden beneath the surface of stunning discoveries. Looking to the future, the author envisions a world where abstract concepts like motivation and purpose are given the same weight as axioms and theorems. Get ready to retrain your mind and embrace a new way of thinking about truth and logic.
