Mathematics in a postmodern age : a Christian perspective
Title:
Mathematics in a postmodern age : a Christian perspective
Summary:
'Mathematics in a Postmodern Age' is an unusual attempt to explore the relationship between mathematics and Christian thought. The discipline of mathematics has not been spared the sweeping critique of postmodernism. Is mathematical theory true for all time, or are mathematical constructs in fact fallible? This fascinating book examines the tensions that have arisen between modern and postmodern views of mathematics, explores alternative theories of mathematical truth, explains why the issues are important, and shows how a Christian perspective makes a difference
