The Mathematical Experience (1981) is a book by Philip J. Davis and Reuben Hersh that discusses the practice of modern mathematics from a historical and philosophical perspective. The book discusses the psychology of mathematicians, and gives examples of famous proofs and outstanding problems. It goes on to speculate about what a proof really means, in relationship to actual truth. Other topics include mathematics in education and some of the math that occurs in computer science.

  • Experiencia matemática es un libro publicado en 1981 por Philip J. Davis y ​ que analiza la práctica de la matemática desde un punto de vista histórico y filosófico. Su primera edición obtuvo el premio National Book Award (EE. UU.) en el área científica el año 1983.​ El libro trata de describir la experiencia de ser matemático y los desarrollos de la disciplina contra un telón de fondo de una historia y filosofía turbulentas. Se centra, sin entrar en muchos detalles de implementación, en el concepto de prueba, dando ejemplos de algunas demostraciones famosas; al mismo tiempo explicando algunos de los problemas matemáticos extantes (por ejemplo: la conjetura de Riemann, etc) para especular acerca del verdadero significado de demostración matemática, en relación con la verdad.​ Otros tópicos incluyen la matemática en la educación y algunas consideraciones (todavía relevantes, a pesar de que tempranas) acerca de la aplicación de computadores a la matemática. El libro ha sido citado por algunos matemáticos, en el sentido de que haya influido en sus decisiones de continuar a estudios de pos grado y ha sido considerado un clásico de la literatura matemática.​ A pesar de esa recepción, generalmente positiva, fue criicado por Martin Gardner, quien no compartía algunas de las visines filosóficas de los autores.​ Una edición revisada (1998) incluye ejercicios y problemas, siendo más adecuada a la didáctica de la matemática. Hay también una “The Companion Guide to The Mathematical Experience”, Study Edition, ambas con la cooperación de . Adicionalmente los autores publicaron (1986) una continuación, bajo el nombre “Descartes' Dream: The World According to Mathematics” (editorial Harcourt)​ y ambos han publicado, independientemente, otras obras relacionadas, tales como “Mathematics And Common Sense: A Case of Creative Tension” de Davis y “What is Mathematics, Really?“ de Hersh.

  • The Mathematical Experience (1981) is a book by Philip J. Davis and Reuben Hersh that discusses the practice of modern mathematics from a historical and philosophical perspective. The book discusses the psychology of mathematicians, and gives examples of famous proofs and outstanding problems. It goes on to speculate about what a proof really means, in relationship to actual truth. Other topics include mathematics in education and some of the math that occurs in computer science. The first paperback edition won a U.S. National Book Award in Science. It is cited by some mathematicians as influential in their decision to continue their studies in graduate school; and has been hailed as a classic of mathematical literature.On the other hand, Martin Gardner disagreed with some of the authors' philosophical opinions. A new edition, published in 1995, includes exercises and problems, making the book more suitable for classrooms. There is also The Companion Guide to The Mathematical Experience, Study Edition. Both were co-authored with Elena Marchisotto. Davis and Hersh wrote a follow-up book, Descartes' Dream: The World According to Mathematics (Harcourt, 1986), and each has written other books with related themes, such as Mathematics And Common Sense: A Case of Creative Tension by Davis and What is Mathematics, Really? by Hersh.
