Mathematics is as much a part of our humanity as music and art.
And it is our mathematics that might be understandable, even
familiar, to a distant race and might provide the basis for
mutual communication. This book discusses, in a conversational
way, the role of mathematics in the search for extraterrestrial
intelligence. The author explores the science behind that search,
its history, and the many questions associated with it, including
those regarding the nature of language and the
philosophical/psychological motivation behind this search.
