The Indispensability of Mathematics
The Indispensability of Mathematics is a 2001 book by Mark Colyvan in which he examines the Quine–Putnam indispensability thesis in the philosophy of mathematics. This thesis is based on the premise that mathematical entities are placed on the same ontological foundation as other theoretical entities indispensable to our best scientific theories.[1][2][3]
