That being said, they may in fact truly represent how the majority of mathematicians experience their work. From my experience, the public transit is pretty bad there. Mathematician's relationship with the general public most closely resembles “bipolar” disorder – at the same time they admire us and hate us. That is what the new Study Edition of The Mathematical Experience is for. The scheme is designed to raise awareness and use of enrichment activities and to support professional development, whilst enhancing the mathematical experience in school. I haven't read this version, but the original one, without the study questions is a very good survey. Because, well, maybe there needn't have been. The preceding dialogues are both from works of fiction. Re: "math exists independent of the universe": For an alternative view, see the concluding chapter of Davis & Hersh's The Mathematical Experience: "Mathematics is not the study of an ideal, preexisting reality. The good thing is, this gave me plenty of time to read Richard Kaye's recent book, The Mathematics of Logic (Cambridge University Press 2007). Obviously the center of metaphysics. Never mind the physical constants that one could in principle measure: yagotta wonder why these guys don't generate woo about the purely mathematical constants that just keep turning up in places they seemingly shouldn't, like e and pi. I like the atheist experience because it's one of the only places in my life where I can actually for for good skeptical, rational conversation, and I feel that this is anything but. Scientists, mathematicians, and philosophers prefer simpler explanations and shorter stories; and what could be simpler than the null universe? Off topic "The mathematical experience" by Philip Davis and Reuben Hersh is an amusing collection of articles about the cultural context of mathematics. Mathematics can run in the background, but the time and attention of active monitoring is required.
