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. 606 $aScience$xMathematics 606 $aExtraterrestrial beings 610 $aalien race. 610 $aalien races. 610 $aart. 610 $aastronomers. 610 $acalculus. 610 $acommunication. 610 $acorrespondence. 610 $adiplomacy. 610 $adiscussion books. 610 $aearth. 610 $aeasy to read. 610 $aengaging. 610 $aequations. 610 $aevolution. 610 $aextraterrestrial intelligence. 610 $aextraterrestrials. 610 $ahistory. 610 $ahuman history. 610 $ahumanity. 610 $alively. 610 $amath. 610 $amathematics. 610 $amusic. 610 $amutual communication. 610 $aouter space. 610 $apage turner. 610 $aphenomenon. 610 $aphilosophy. 610 $aphysics and chemistry. 610 $aplanets. 610 $arealistic. 610 $ascience methodology. 610 $ascience to consider. 610 $ascience. 610 $asearch for intelligent life. 610 $atheoretical. 610 $aufos. 615 0$aScience$xMathematics. 615 0$aExtraterrestrial beings. 676 $a999.01/51 676 $a999.0151 700 $aDeVito$b Carl L$01547427 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790859003321 996 $aScience, SETI and mathematics$93803805 997 $aUNINA
