Cultures of Mathematics and Logic 
Selected Papers from the Conference in Guangzhou, China, November 9-12, 2012

Support

This book gathers the proceedings of the conference ‘Cultures of Mathematics and Logic, ‘ held in Guangzhou, China. The event was the third in a series of interdisciplinary, international conferences emphasizing the cultural components of philosophy of mathematics and logic. It brought together researchers from many disciplines whose work sheds new light on the diversity of mathematical and logical cultures and practices. In this context, the cultural diversity can be diachronical (different cultures in different historical periods), geographical (different cultures in different regions), or sociological in nature.
