  • On the Teaching of Linear Algebra

    Edited by J.-L. Dorier ...
    Series series Education (R0)
    To a large extent, it lies, no doubt, in what is presented in this work under the title of ‘meta lever‘, a method which it is certainly interesting to develop and further refine. There exists in mathematics courses a strange prudery which forbids one to ask questions such as, ‹‹ Why are we doing this? », ‹‹ At what is the objective aimed? », whereas it is usually easy to reply to such questions, ...

  • Structures and Algorithms

    Mathematics and the Nature of Knowledge

    by Jens Erik Fenstad ...

Thus in comparison with some other books on the philosophy (or methodology) of science, which employ a syntactic approach, the author’s approach is model theoretic or structural.Properly understood, it extends the ...

    Edited by Stewart Shapiro ...
    Series series Oxford Handbooks
    Mathematics and logic have been central topics of concern since the dawn of philosophy.
