  • 数学觉醒：学会更清晰地思考

    by [法]戴维·贝西 ...
    我们该如何学习数学，如何塑造自己的认知和思维？有人认为，数学能力是与生俱来的，数学家的大脑结构天生和普通人的不一样，所以他们能理解复杂、高深的数学知识。然而这本书会破除这一误解：数学只是知识世界的一部分，不应当引发恐惧和误解。数学的本质植根于直觉与心理图像，而非抽象逻辑或复杂的知识结构，因此数学学习不仅是掌握知识的过程，更是一场身心参与的实践。成人和儿童的思维都具备可塑性，只要学会正确的方法，就能通过观察、游戏、交谈等日常活动，构建并不断完善直觉和心理图像，学会将复杂、抽象的内容转化为有趣、可学的身心体验，让数学乃至任何科目的学习都不再困难。作者认为，理解和研究数学的关键要素就隐藏在人类日常逐步完善自身认知的过程中，因此我们应当重新看待数学学习，消除对数学的畏惧心态，培养充满好奇心、想象力与直觉的学习能力。本书适合大众，尤其是对数学学习、认知与思维培养等话题感兴趣的读者阅读。 ...
