How to Prove Things with Diagrams
De Toffoli, Prof Silvia (Associate Professor of Philosophy, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Scuola Universitaria Superiore IUSS Pavia)

Silvia De Toffoli overturns these beliefs, showing that diagrams can be not only legitimate but also essential components of rigorous mathematical proofs.
