Geoffrey Hellman presents a detailed interpretation of mathematics as the investigation of structural possibilities, as opposed to absolute, Platonic objects. After dealing with the natural numbers and analysis, he extends his approach to set theory, and shows how to dispense with a fixed universe of sets. Finally, he addresses problems of application to the physical world.Hellman, Geoffrey is the author of 'Mathematics Without Numbers Towards a Modal-Structural Interpretation' with ISBN 9780198240341 and ISBN 0198240341.
