A Structural Account of Mathematics - Paperback - 2007

Presents a structural view of the nature of mathematics, and uses it to explain a number of features of mathematics that have puzzled philosophers. This work shows that, in order to understand how mathematical systems are applied in science, it is not necessary to assume that its theorems either presuppose mathematical objects or are even true.
