Semiotic and Cognitive Science Essays on the Nature of Mathematics

Mariana Bockarova ( Harvard University ), Marcel Danesi ( University of Toronto), Rafael Núñez ( University of California, San Diego) (eds.)

This volume brings together key studies in an emerging interdisciplinary field aiming to study mathematical cognition written by internationally-renowned scholars in fields ranging from mathematical theory to cognitive science and semiotics. The thematic thread that runs through all these studies is that the comprehension and learning of mathematical concepts involves complex neural and cognitive process, such as blending, metaphor, semiosis, and various forms of language. Each article presents its particular perspective in a clear way so that it can be read by scholars in any of the disciplines covered, and it presents ideas and empirical findings that point to the need for a new interdisciplinary mode of investigating mathematical cognition and its relation to other cognitive processes.
