There is a strange fact that many works written with the purpose to explain what is mathematics, somehow avoid the issue. This paper is aimed at filling this gap. After discussing various
German philosophers emphasise, that human beings show a desire for meaning in reality. It is further elaborated that it is a specific human desideratum to provide the world with meaning and sense so as to interpret it as being meaningful. In this way, the world can be understood by human beings. This attitude does not
I Definition and Mathematical Practice. The basic observation structuring this survey is that mathematicians often set finding the “right" / “proper" / “correct" / “natural" definition as a re- search objective, and success - finding “the proper" definition - can be counted as a significant advance in knowledge. Remarks like these
mathematicians do" really be a part of the definition? The definition given by the German Wikipedia is interesting in a different way: it stresses that there is no definition of mathematics, or at least no commonly accepted one. I translate: Mathematics is the science that developed from the investigation of figures and computing
Abstract. Some key elements for developing a theory for understanding mathematical concepts are outlined. These elements are derived from the theory of mathematical objects and their meanings developed by Godino and Batanero (1994; 1996). We shall argue for the need to complement the psychological facets of
Other conceptions of the subject define mathematics as a static discipline, with a known set of concepts, principles, and skills (Fisher, 1990). The rapid growth of mathematics and its applications over the past 50 years has led to a number of scholarly essays that examine its nature and its importance (Consortium for Mathe-.
(1987), who argue that meaning, imagination, and reason have a bodily basis. This debate, however, is beyond the scope and goals of this paper. Humans perform mental acts, and they perform them in every domain of life, not just in science and mathematics. Although all the aforementioned examples of mental acts are
Mathematical definitions are of fundamental importance in the axiomatic structure that characterizes mathematics. The enculturation of college mathematics students into the field of mathematics includes their acceptance and understanding of the role of mathematical definitions, that the words of the formal definition embody
15 Feb 2018 Full-text (PDF) | This paper discusses the place of definitions in school mathematics, considering official UK curriculum guidance, literature related to definitions in advanced mathematical thinking and to experimental teaching focused on student development of definitions. A two dimensional fram
5 Sep 2014 as part of a definition of mathematics, puts us into logical difficulties that might have made Godel smile.1. The answer given by Wikipedia in the current German version, reads (in our translation):. Mathematics [] is a science that developed from the investigation of geometric figures and the computing with
