It does not manifest as public objects or substances. It does not haunt the vacuum of space. That is what the new Study Edition of The Mathematical Experience is for. I haven't read this version, but the original one, without the study questions is a very good survey. Davis, "The Mathematical Experience" Mariner Books | 1999 | ISBN: 0395929687 | 464 pages | PDF | 15,9 MB We tend to. Mathematician's relationship with the general public most closely resembles “bipolar” disorder – at the same time they admire us and hate us. Given the complexity of brain dynamics and of our inner experience, we expect the mathematical constructs connecting neuroscience and mind to be far less simple than Newton's, Maxwell's, or Schrödinger's equations. My intention in this post is to comment and present some of my experiences and my own visions of the Department of Mathematics of the University of Bristol. The people telling these stories were mathematics students, many of whom had no public speaking, science communication or teaching experience at the start of the project. The Turning Point: Science, Society, and the Rising Culture. However naïve we may know it is, the Platonic myth of mathematics does capture an aspect of our experience — the resistance of mathematical ideas to being merely what we want them to be — which is almost uncommunicable to the uninitiated.

Have you designed the user interface so that the user can experience the mathematical content in as simple and direct a way as possible? They might not see the beauty of math; and many won't get the joy of discovery which is so important to the mathematical experience.
