Preface
The study of mathematical cognition has become an ever-broadening interdisciplinary field of inquiry that aims to understand the neural basis of mathematics and, more specifically, how mathematical concepts emerge. Starting with the work of Brian Butterworth, Stanislas Dehaene, Keith Devlin, Lakoff, and Núñez, among others, the field started burgeoning in the early 2000s, having provided today a huge database of research findings, theories related to math learning, and insights into how mathematics intersects with other neural faculties, such as langu
