The concept of definition is usually not covered in mathematical logic textbooks. definability classes structures dealt with model theory but the concepts within a given structure not. Our aim to deal these kind definitions. We also address some implications for teaching and learning mathematics.

Monotone Inductive Definitions in Explicit Mathematics
The context for this paper is Feferman's theory of explicit mathematics, T 0. We address a problem that was posed in F 82]. Let MID be the principle stating that any monotone operation on classiications has a least xed point. The main objective of this paper is to show that T 0 + MID, when based on classical logic, also proves the existence of non-monotone inductive deenitions that arise from a...
متن کاملJustifying Definitions in Mathematics—Going Beyond Lakatos
This paper addresses the actual practice of justifying definitions in mathematics. First, I introduce the main account of this issue, namely Lakatos’s proof-generated definitions. Based on a case study of definitions of randomness in ergodic theory, I identify three other common ways of justifying definitions: natural-world-justification, condition-justification and redundancyjustification. Als...

متن کاملThe 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...
