Abstract Algebra, Mathematical Structuralism and Semiotics
Year: 2015
Type: conference-abstract
Abstract: We report in this paper on our attempt to help students reflect on the axiomatic method in mathematics and structuralist thinking through a didactically-engineered activity, as a lever to tackle the issue of the learning of abstract algebra. It sheds light into the cognitive processes involved in the conceptualization of an abstract algebraic structure, which are discussed in a semiotics framework.
