Mathematics: Form and Function Saunders Mac Lane
Publisher: Springer

This is a research-based framework for analyzing students understanding of function. Every form of constructive mathematics has intuitionistic logic at its core; different schools have different additional principles or axioms given by the particular approach to constructivism. I strongly recommend Saunders Mac Lane's book Mathematics: Form and Function, for some very clear thinking on this and other philosophical topics. A linear functional {f} is just a linear map from {V} to {\mathbb{R}} . That's right: the basic idea of rise over run, or slope, within these equations, leads to all kinds of inviting mathematics. With interviews with MIT scientists, professors, artists and theorists, the director shows a universal nature between art and mathematics; form and function. The framework is presented in terms of levels of understanding. Every such space has a dual space {V^{*}} of the same dimension: the dual is nothing more than all the linear functionals defined on the vector space. The considerations that motivate the ideas of “naturalness” in algebraic geometry and category theory are expressed in the Preface to John Lee's Introduction to Smooth Manifolds, and then fleshed-out in Mac Lane's Mathematics: Form and Function. Unique is architecture in that it combines art and science (mathematics); form and function. Saunders Mac Lane opened the first chapter of Mathematics: Form and Function (1986) with the following statement (p. A linear equation, or function, is naturally one of the form Ax + By = C. Definitions like these are common, but don't really convey a sense of what mathematics is.
