The Mathematical Brain
Description
pulled from site's meta descriptionWhy do we think we're so bad at maths, when we're all - almost all - born with brain circuits specialised for numbers? Our ability to use numbers has been the key from taking us from the Stone Age to the Phone Age. Trade, science and technology would be impossible without this ability. Neuroscientist Brian Butterworth argues that we are all born with brain circuits specialised for numbers. He shows that the earliest humans, in the depths of the Ice Age, made tallies on bones and cave walls, and that babies in the first weeks of life see the world in numerical terms. This engrossing journey takes us from the tribes of remotest New Guinea, who count on parts of the body we normally conceal, to mathematical prodigies and also to acalculic patients unable to count beyond four.
