Mathematics in a Postmodern Age: A Christian Perspective

by Russell W. Howell (Editor), W. James Bradley

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.

This book had a neat way of looking at problems in education and connecting them to many outside sources.
