How Mathematicians Think: Using Ambiguity, Contradiction, and Paradox to Create Mathematics

Princeton Press, 2007

To many outsiders, mathematicians appear to think like computers, grimly grinding away with a strict formal logic and moving methodically--even algorithmically--from one black-and-white deduction to another.
