Abstract | Through examples we explore the practice of mathematical pursuit, in particular on the notion of proof, in a cultural, socio-political and intellectual context. One objective of the discussion is to show how mathematics constitutes a part of human endeavour rather than standing on its own as a technical subject, as it is commonly taught in the classroom. As a "bonus", we also look at the pedagogical aspect on ways to enhance understanding of specific topics in the classroom. |
