Download or read book Mathematics without Apologies written by Michael Harris and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2017-05-30 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An insightful reflection on the mathematical soul What do pure mathematicians do, and why do they do it? Looking beyond the conventional answers—for the sake of truth, beauty, and practical applications—this book offers an eclectic panorama of the lives and values and hopes and fears of mathematicians in the twenty-first century, assembling material from a startlingly diverse assortment of scholarly, journalistic, and pop culture sources. Drawing on his personal experiences and obsessions as well as the thoughts and opinions of mathematicians from Archimedes and Omar Khayyám to such contemporary giants as Alexander Grothendieck and Robert Langlands, Michael Harris reveals the charisma and romance of mathematics as well as its darker side. In this portrait of mathematics as a community united around a set of common intellectual, ethical, and existential challenges, he touches on a wide variety of questions, such as: Are mathematicians to blame for the 2008 financial crisis? How can we talk about the ideas we were born too soon to understand? And how should you react if you are asked to explain number theory at a dinner party? Disarmingly candid, relentlessly intelligent, and richly entertaining, Mathematics without Apologies takes readers on an unapologetic guided tour of the mathematical life, from the philosophy and sociology of mathematics to its reflections in film and popular music, with detours through the mathematical and mystical traditions of Russia, India, medieval Islam, the Bronx, and beyond.

A preposition should be placed before a noun or a pronoun. The word preposition expresses “position before” so it is improper to place a preposition at the end! This is, however, not a rule. You can use a preposition to end a sentence with. Here, you will learn when you can use a preposition at the end of a sentence and how you can avoid using a preposition at the end of a sentence. As there is no hard and fast rule regarding the use of a preposition at the end of a sentence, so whether you use it or not at the end of a sentence, it is your choice. But as most people avoid the ‘excessive’ use of prepositions at the end of sentences, you can follow suit and may use them only when they give strength to your language. Some words (on, off, over, etc.) may be used as both prepositions and adverbs. However, everyone can’t easily differentiate between a preposition and an adverb. So, whenever they see these words at the end of sentences, they think that they are prepositions. As most people are averse to the idea of using prepositions at the end of sentences, they even don’t use these words as adverbs at the end of sentences. Actually, it is a myth that you shouldn’t use a preposition at the end of a sentence. Using a preposition at the end of a sentence is not grammatically incorrect. You can end your sentences with prepositions. Sometimes, using a preposition at the end of a sentence seems better than using it in the middle or beginning of a sentence.
