Describing experiments that show that human infants have a rudimentary number sense, Stanislas Dehaene suggests that this sense is as basic as our perception of color, and that it is wired into the brain. Dehaene shows that it was the invention of symbolic systems of numerals that started us on the climb to higher mathematics. A fascinating look at the crossroads where numbers and neurons intersect, The Number Sense offers an intriguing tour of how the structure of the brain shapes our mathematical abilities, and how our mathematics opens up a window on the human mind. Review: Excellent book by a top researcher - Several years ago I was trying to organize a conference on the topic of how we learn mathematics. I needed someone who could present for two and one-half days on the subject. I called some of the top researchers in the United States and they all declined because, as they said, no one on the planet knew enough to be able to fill all of that time. By 2009 that had changed. By then there was enough research to have the conference I wanted. Most of it was hidden in scientific journals. This book is among the first to get the word out more generally about what we know about learning mathematics. It features solid science, is accessible to a general audience, and in some parts so amusingly handled that I found myself laughing out loud. Review: Great research and examples and studies of how we learn math - Great research and examples and studies of how we learn math and how the brain struggles with it. As MisterNumbers on Youtube it helps me understand what helps kids learn math. The Outliers by Malcolm Boyd has an amazing chapter that is based on this book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,676,680 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,937 in Medical Cognitive Psychology #2,391 in Consciousness & Thought Philosophy #3,097 in Cognitive Psychology (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 24 Reviews | ## Images ![The Number Sense: How the Mind Creates Mathematics - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Nm5XrFlDL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book by a top researcher *by M***R on March 14, 2016* Several years ago I was trying to organize a conference on the topic of how we learn mathematics.
