520 1 $a"Why are some types of number so hard to understand? What connects our hands to our sense of number? Why does schooling sometimes leave us so muddled and discouraged that we close the door on our mathematical brain? And what can we do to open the door again?" "Brian Butterworth answers these and other intriguing questions as he takes us on a riveting biological and historical journey from tally-marks on the walls of Ice Age caves and the body-counting of New Guinea to his own cutting-edge research on mathematical brains, normal and abnormal. He tells us about the bookkeeper who could no longer count above four, and about the science graduate who has to solve the simplest problems by counting on his fingers, as well as about the calculating prodigy who can find powers and roots in seconds."--Jacket.
