Offers an investigation of demonstration in mathematics and science, examining how it works and why it is persuasive. Focusing on geometrical demonstration, this book shows the roles that representation and ambiguity play in mathematical discovery. It also presents a range of case studies in mechanics, topology, algebra, logic, and chemistry.
