| | I have mixed feelings about Harrie de Swart's Philosophical and Mathematical Logic (Springer, 2018). For this long book really is a strange mish-mash, supposedly aimed at philosophers. There are chapters (not very good) on e.g. the philosophy of language and "fallacies and unfair discussion methods", and e.g. a section on social choice theory. Then there [...]

| | Note: Our CHI 2021 paper introduces a design framework that facilitates the construction and exploration of embodied representations for algebraic expressions, using interactions inspired by innate arithmetic capabilities. Excellent work led by Nazmus Saquib, see more detailed motivation in this blog post. Mathematical models and expressions traditionally evolved as symbolic representations, with cognitively arbitrary rules...
