The trace of realistic mathematics education in the school mathematics in Iran

Abstract: In the late 70's, in reaction to both "New Math" movement in the United States and "mechanistic mathematics education" approach to mathematics education in Netherland, Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) has been introduced by Freudenthal and his colleagues. In this educational approach, Freudenthal considered mathematics as a human activity. Based on this approach, education should...

Reality and Human Values in Mathematics

Many mathematicians and philosophers say that mathematical objects have a real existence independent of any human activities or values. But do mathematicians behave as if this were true? This paper applies techniques from linguistics and sociology to show that mathematical discourse involves a highly nuanced assignment of values to objects, which is then used in resolving references to objects;...

Combating Human Trafficking Using Mathematics

Mathematics, Recursion, and Universals in Human Languages

There are many scientific problems generated by the multiple and conflicting alternative definitions of linguistic recursion and human recursive processing that exist in the literature. The purpose of this article is to make available to the linguistic community the standard mathematical definition of recursion and to apply it to discuss linguistic recursion. As a byproduct, we obtain an insigh...
