- The_Mathematical_Experience abstract "The Mathematical Experience (1981) is a book by Philip J. Davis and Reuben Hersh that discusses the practice of modern mathematics from a historical and philosophical perspective. Its first paperback edition won a U.S. National Book Award in Science.It is frequently cited by mathematicians as a book that was influential in their decision to continue their studies in graduate school and has been hailed as a classic of mathematical literature.In accordance with its title, it attempts to describe, in light of the turbulent history and philosophy of mathematics, the experience of being a mathematician. It focuses on the proof, without going fully into the rigorous how-to details, gives examples of some highly interesting and famous proofs, as well as the outstanding problems of mathematics (the Riemann hypothesis, etc.), and goes on to speculate on what a proof really means, in relationship to actual truth.Other topics include mathematics in education and some (obviously-outdated, but still mostly relevant) computer mathematics.The book was generally well-received but drew a critical review from Martin Gardner, who disagreed with some of the authors' philosophical opinions.A new edition, published in 1998, includes exercises and problems, making the book more suitable for classrooms. There is also The Companion Guide to The Mathematical Experience, Study Edition. Both were co-authored with Elena A. Marchisotto. The authors wrote a follow-up book, Descartes' Dream: The World According to Mathematics (Harcourt, 1986), and each has written other books with related themes, such as Mathematics And Common Sense: A Case of Creative Tension by Davis and What is Mathematics, Really? by Hersh.".
