''Where Mathematics Comes From: How the Embodied Mind Brings Mathematics into Being'' (hereinafter ''WMCF'') is a book by George Lakoff, a cognitive linguist, and Rafael E. Núñez, a psychologist. Published in 2000, ''WMCF'' seeks to found a cognitive science of mathematics, a theory of embodied mathematics based on conceptual metaphor. ==''WMCF'' definition of mathematics== Mathematics makes up that part of the human conceptual system that is special in the following way: :"It is precise, consistent, stable across time and human communities, symbolizable, calculable, generalizable, universally available, consistent within each of its subject matters, and effective as a general tool for description, explanation, and prediction in a vast number of everyday activities, (from ) sports, to building, business, technology, and science." (''WMCF'', pp. 50, 377) Nikolay Lobachevsky said "There is no branch of mathematics, however abstract, which may not some day be applied to phenomena of the real world." A common type of conceptual blending process would seem to apply to the entire mathematical procession. Pythagoras is alleged to have said "All is number."
