Beschreibung
This volume contains four essays which may attract the
attention of those readers, who are interested in
mathematical cognition. The main issues and questions
addressed include: How do we achieve understanding of
mathematical notions and ideas? What benefits can be
obtained from the mistakes of great mathematicians? Which
mathematical objects are standard and which are
pathological? Is it possible to characterize the intended
models of mathematical theories in a unique way?
