This volume contains 15 selected papers discussing connections between fractal geometry and dynamical system in
pure mathematics and connections between these two and other fields of mathematics.
Now in an updated and expanded third edition, "A Concise Introduction To
Pure Mathematics" by Martin Liebeck provides an informed and informative presentation into a representative selection of fundamental ideas in mathematics including the theory of solving cubic equations, the use of Euler's formula to study the five Platonic solids, the use of prime numbers to encode and decode secret information, the theory of how to compare the sizes of two infinite sets, the limits of sequences and continuous functions, the use of the intermediate value theorem to prove the existence of nth roots, and so much more.
Cohen's main thesis is that
pure mathematics in mid-nineteenth-century England and America (primarily mathematical logic, along with some work on algebra and number systems) owes its origin to neo-Platonic, Kantian, and transcendental philosophies of mathematics as well as to religious idealism seeking to promote toleration.

Cohen's EQUATIONS FROM GOD:
PURE MATHEMATICS AND VICTORIAN FAITH (0801885331, $50.00) discusses the rebirth of abstract mathematics and its connection to efforts to 'touch the mind of God'.
But Betfair clients, not shackled by
pure mathematics, took a different view.
But Archimedes' first love was "
pure mathematics." He charted the value of pi--the ratio of a circumference of a circle to its diameter.
