An Introduction to the Philosophy of Mathematics

"...Colyvan's introduction eschews a historically based, comprehensive survey. His final chapter contains a brief description of 20 selected mathematical theorems of philosophical interest. This skillfully written work, including liberal use of analogy and extensive exercises and recommended readings, is a stimulating introduction to some of the most discussed topics in contemporary philosophy of mathematics. Accessible to undergraduates with a background in mathematical logic... Highly recommended..." --L.C. Archie, Lander University, CHOICE
