متن کاملThe Role of Shape in Problem-Solving Activities in Mathematics
In our paper we will rely on research by Grosholz (2007) considering her thesis of the irreducibility of iconic representation in mathematics. Against this background, our aim will be to discuss the epistemic value of “shape” or iconicity in diagrammatic representations in geometry. We show that iconic aspects of diagrams reveal structural relations underlying the method to solve q...
