«Cartas a una joven matemática» is Ian Stewart's popular mathematics essay, published by Editorial Crítica in hardcover (240 pages, in Spanish).
In an imaginary correspondence with Meg, who is considering studying mathematics, Stewart reviews what he would have liked to know as a young person: what mathematics is, the relationship between logic and proof, how mathematicians think, pure versus applied mathematics, beauty and symmetry, and the day-to-day life of the mathematical community.
It is number 1 in Editorial Crítica's Drakontos collection; this hardcover edition with dust jacket was published on November 3, 2006.
For students unsure about pursuing mathematics and for those curious about popular science.
