Ilustration As Books Mathematics: Is God Silent?

This book revolutionizes the prevailing understanding and teaching of math. The addition of this book is a must for all upper-level Christian school curricula and for college students and adults interested in math or related fields of science and religion. It will serve as a solid refutation for the claim, often made in court, that mathematics is one subject, which cannot be taught from a distinctively Biblical perspective.

Assessment Out Of Books Mathematics: Is God Silent?

Absolutely amazing book! Surprisingly readable. Includes philosophy, history, worldview, and yes, math. Nickel shows why your worldview, your beliefs about what can be known and how/whether the universe began determine how you study math and whether you apply it to the real world. He argues that math must be studied in order to apply it to science and improving quality of life, that math can be studied because the universe was created by a transcendent and personal God, and that math should be

Cosmology, ontology, axiology, soteriology, epistemology, ethics, and teleology. Mathematics provides insight into each of these field of study. This is a provocative writing for those that have a basic appreciation for science from a biblical worldview. Readily understandable.

The author gives a very full introduction to historic mathematicians and often analyzes how their worldview shaped their (or their culture's) work or approach to math. One major thesis -- that math represents the unity of the diversity of creation, just as there is unity in diversity in the trinity -- is consistently built througout the book. I found some of his other points or critiques less compelling and would recommend further study of them, perhaps in the author's lengthy bibliography.

It's almost unheard of to get a book like this - that looks at maths and the various discoveries of the last few centuries from a theological and philosophical point of view. You may disagree with many of Nickel's interpretations depending on your beliefs but what he does really well is move maths from being a pointless intellectual exercise we did in school to a position of being a wondrous language that God instilled in creation. The question this book asks is - if mathematics is just a



Wow. What an excellent book.It was a very challenging read for me, because so much of the actual maths in the book lost me very early on (even as I gobbled up everything the book had to say about the history and philosophy of maths). But this is one of those books that explains to you why you feel the way you do about the subject. Nearly all the maths in this book was over my head, but the book did a fantastic job of explaining why that was.I hated maths all the way through my education. It

To be honest, I never got all the way through this. :) There is a lot of math I didn't understand yet, so that made it a little hard to track. The author also made some historical assumptions that weren't necessarily very well supported. Still, it's a really interesting study and I love how it treats the history of mathematics from a Biblical worldview.
