Mathematical picture of the world and understanding

Year: 2022
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: The aim of the article is to analyze the phenomenon of understanding in mathematics. Two concepts are introduced: mathematical picture of the world (MPW) and individual mathematical picture of the world (IMPW). A distinctive feature of the work is that understanding in mathematics is treated as a process of forming IMPW. The basic element of IMPW and its structure are distinguished. It is accepted that a coherent and complete representation of a basic element of IMPW means understanding of a mathematical concept. The paper offers a scheme enabling the formation of mathematical concepts among students.
