"“The inside story on how mathematicians think, how they choose their problems, how they avoid getting discouraged, and why common beliefs about mathematics are wrong. Brilliant, readable, and perceptive.”—Ian Stewart, author of What's the Use? “This is an insightful, illuminating, and thought-provoking book, de-mystifying what it means and feels like to do mathematics.”—Eugenia Cheng, author of Is Math Real?, The Joy of Abstraction, and How to Bake Pi ""This is a rare specimen: a mathematical self-improvement book. It's full of playful, assertive, inventive coaching for becoming your best mathematical self.""—Ben Orlin, author of Math with Bad Drawings ""I was utterly charmed by Mathematica. Whether you love math or hate it (or just think you hate it), please read this book. It’s about what mathematics REALLY is.""—Steven Strogatz, author of Infinite Powers"
