Features: "Mathematics and Philosophy" is a gift from Academician Zhang Jingzhong to mathematics enthusiasts. The main content of the book includes the collapse and rebirth of the "everything is numbers" perspective, which geometry is true, variables, infinitesimals, and the ghost of quantity, how many natural numbers there are, the turmoil caused by Russell's paradox, what numbers are, and whether they are true but cannot be proven, mathematics and structure, whether destiny determines or free will is free, can examples prove geometric theorems, and reflections on mathematics and philosophy. The book primarily explains in detail the collapse and rebirth of the "everything is numbers" perspective, which geometry is true, variables, infinitesimals, and the ghost of quantity, how many natural numbers there are, the turmoil caused by Russell's paradox, what numbers are, whether they are true but cannot be proven, mathematics and structure, whether destiny determines or free will is free, can examples prove geometric theorems, and reflections on mathematics and philosophy.
