      abstract     = {The aim of this book is to explain, carefully but not
                      technically, the differences between advanced,
                      research-level mathematics, and the sort of mathematics we
                      learn at school. The most fundamental differences are
                      philosophical, and readers of this book will emerge with a
                      clearer understanding of paradoxical-sounding concepts such
                      as infinity, curved space, and imaginary numbers. The first
                      few chapters are about general aspects of mathematical
                      thought. These are followed by discussions of more specific
                      topics, and the book closes with a chapter answering common
                      sociological questions about the mathematical community
                      (such as ""Is it true that mathematicians burn out at the
                      age of 25?"")ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions
                      series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of
