From sense to symbol sense

Year: 1999

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: In this theoretical paper figurative aspects of algebraic symbolism are discussed and related to the theory of image schemata, opening up for one way of understanding the development of symbol sense in mathematics. The ideas of mathematical forms (referring to spatial characteristics of mathematical formulas), and form operations, are at the core of this analysis.
