چکیده
This paper is concerned with the role of language in advanced mathematical thinking. It is argued that some behaviors may arise from the application to mathematical language of some conventions of ordinary language. Grice’s Cooperative Principle (CP) is introduced in order to explain some episodes that are not easily accounted for in terms of semantics only. Some examples of (undue) application of CP to mathematical language are given. It is argued that the application of CP to mathematical language in problem solving is closely linked to the poor use of mathematical knowledge and, more generally, to the attitudes and behaviors that Vinner (1997) names ‘pseudo-analytical’.

متن کاملCulturally Aware Mathematics Education Technology
Education and learning take place in a situation that is heavily influenced by the culture of the learners’ context because this context affects a learner’s cognitive processes in learning. Hence, to improve the conditions for learning, e-learning environments and their contents have to be presented and interact with the learner in a culturally appropriate way. Therefore, an e-learning system f...
