There is little indication of the rich interaction between religion and science throughout history, much of which\u003cbr\u003econtinues today. From ancient to modern times, mathematicians have played a key role in this interaction. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is a book on the relationship between mathematics and religious beliefs. It aims to show that, throughout scientific history, mathematics has been used to make sense of the 'big' questions of life, and that religious beliefs sometimes drove mathematicians to mathematics to help them make sense\u003cbr\u003eof the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eContaining contributions from a wide array of scholars in the fields of philosophy, history of science and history of mathematics, this book shows that the intersection between mathematics and theism is rich in both culture and character. Chapters cover a fascinating range of topics including the\u003cbr\u003eSect of the Pythagoreans, Newton's views on the apocalypse, Charles Dodgson's Anglican faith and Godel's proof of the existence of God.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSnezana Lawrence, \u003cem\u003eSenior Lecturer in Mathematics Education, Bath Spa University\u003c\/em\u003e, Mark McCartney, \u003cem\u003eSenior Lecturer in Mathematics, University of Ulster\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSnezana Lawrence is a Senior Lecturer in Mathematics Education at Bath Spa University.
