This is a book about the imagination in general and about the mathematical imagination in particular.
Mazur considers the range of our imaginative experiences. When we read a line of poetry - "The yellow of the tulip" - what is it we experience with the mind's eye?
And when we imagine a number, in particular an impossible number such as the square root of a negative quantity, what imaginative object might this bring to mind?
