The whole book is excellent; in terms of your particular interest, David, chapter three addresses mathematics and instrumentation, and chapter five addresses “reading, writing, and doing science” through close reading of prison notebooks.Regards,Joy--Joy Lisi Rankin, PhD | she/her/hersResearch Lead for the Gender, Race, and Power in AI ProgramRecently: "Bodies into Bits" and "Whitewashing Tech"

Hi All,I'd just add in the vein of Brian's and Sam's suggestions that Brian Rotman's work (especially Mathematics as Sign) carves out a position distinct from formalism, intuitionism, and Platonism, which he calls the "semiotic" account of mathematics, and which is explicitly about "scratching notes on paper" and other material practices of doing math. If people know of follow-up work to his, I would be very interested, I have found him very compelling to read.Best,LeifOn Wed, Mar 3, 2021 at 10:10 AM Sam Kellogg <samkellogg@gmail.com> wrote:Hello David,I highly recommend Juliette Kennedy's work on mathematical drawing on this point—this essay in particular discusses drafting, scratch notes, drawing at the blackboard, etc.Kennedy, Juliette. “Notes on the Syntax and Semantics Distinction, or Three Moments in the Life of the Mathematical Drawing.” In What Is a Mathematical Concept?, edited by Alf Coles, Elizabeth de Freitas, and Nathalie Sinclair, 55–75.
