Where Mathematics Comes From: How the Embodied Mind Brings Mathematics into Being (hereinafter WMCF) is a book by George Lakoff, a cognitive linguist, and Rafael E. Núñez, a psychologist. Published in 2000, WMCF seeks to found a cognitive science of mathematics, a theory of embodied mathematics based on conceptual metaphor. (Wikipedia).
Where did math come from? Which numbers arose first? Did math develop the same way across cultures? While the details are fuzzy, history shows that if people have ever needed to count something, they developed some form of mathematics. Journalist and moderator Robert Krulwich and the exper
