A case study in Reuben Hersh's philosophy

Bézout's theorem

Elena Anne Corie Marchisotto

pp. 329-345

Abstract

I met Reuben Hersh, in person, in 1989. However, I knew of him well before that. I had a read on The Mathematical Experience ([11] 1981), a book he had coauthored with Philip Davis that won the National Book Award in 1983. Written for a general audience, this book sought to promote an understanding of mathematics from historical, philosophical, and psychological perspectives.
