PhiMSAMP: philosophy of mathematics: sociological aspects and mathematical practice

open access: yes, 2010
Philosophy of mathematics is moving in a new direction: away from a foundationalism in terms of formal logic and traditional ontology, and towards a broader range of approaches that are united by a focus on mathematical practice. The scientific research network PhiMSAMP (Philosophy of Mathematics: Sociological Aspects and Mathematical Practice ...

Practical Mathematics

The Mathematics Teacher, 1945
World War II has focused our attention on the practical side of mathematics. Training in this subject has been a necessary part of the programs for turning out fliers, engineers, teachers, doctors, chemists, meteorologists and other workers. The amount of mathematics needed varies with the type of work and the level upon which the individual is ...

Mathematical practices, in theory and practice

ZDM, 2020
Descriptions of mathematical thinking have an extended lineage. Sometimes accurate and sometimes not, sometimes misinterpreted and sometimes not, characterizations of mathematical thought processes have inspired and at times misled people interested in designing or framing mathematics instruction.

Participating in Classroom Mathematical Practices

Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2001
In this article, we describe a methodology for analyzing the collective learning of the classroom community in terms of the evolution of classroom mathematical practices. To develop the rationale for this approach, we first ground the discussion in our work as mathematics educators who conduct classroom-based design research.

Best Practices in Mathematical Modeling

2012
Mathematical modeling is a vehicle that allows for explanation and prediction of natural phenomena. In this chapter we present guidelines and best practices for developing and implementing mathematical models, using cancer growth, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy modeling as examples.

Inclusive Practices in Mathematics Education

2016
Inclusive mathematics education acknowledges human diversity and involves supporting the diverse learning needs of all students in general mathematics classrooms. In this chapter we review Australasian research concerning the various categories of diversity using the three themes of our framework: Access to the curriculum through policies and ...

Finite Methods in Mathematical Practice

2014
In the present contribution we look at the legacy of Hilbert’s programme in some re-cent developments in mathematics. Hilbert’s ideas have seen new life in generalised andrelativised forms by the hands of proof theorists and have been a source of motivationfor the so–called reverse mathematics programme initiated by H. Friedman and S. Simp-son.

Solving Practical Problems with Mathematics

1994
Many people who are beginning to use mathematics to help them solve practical problems experience the same difficulties. These difficulties are not so much with the mathematical techniques themselves, which may be quite straightforward when viewed simply as calculations.
