A practical consequence is full respect for the diverse areas of mathematics - mainly computation, spatial intuition, deduction, and abstract axiomatic method - without reducing one to another. As a second consequence, a dynamic interaction between different 'epistemological levels' is always active and present, in the development of mathematics in practice, the study of its foundations and its formalisation in a computer language.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Giovanni Sambin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/23\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford Logic Guides\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 656\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.84h x 4.52w x 1.53d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199232888","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45156089725065,"sku":"9780199232888","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_4a6622ee-12ec-4670-934e-bd337e273fee.jpg?v=1768294648","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/positive-topology-a-new-practice-in-constructive-mathematics-9780199232888","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
