Book on mathematics

Making math or telling it... I was unaware of such a discussion among mathematicians till I read a few pages of my new book named "The art of Mathematics". It is an interesting book that its writer intends to "tell" something about math without apologizing. According to the writer, the pure mathematicians who "make" math think that they are doing the real job while the others who "tell" about mathematics are the ones who are not producing anything but talking about their work.

At first the idea seems very rude but in recent years very few men produce some ideas and the rest is just talking, criticising, describing or making fun of these works. The world needs more fresh work, innovation. Criticism, descriptions and other stuff are all necessary but should not be the essentials.
