While proofs are central to university level mathematics courses, research indicates that some students may complete their degrees with an incomplete picture of what constitutes a proof and how proofs are developed. The paper sets out to review what is known of the student experience of mathematical...
Zero a landmark discovery, the dreadful void, and the ultimate mind 2.3.14Experience is the proof In spiritual science, the proof of an event, for example, the event of NS resulting in the highest wisdom a human being can achieve, is experiencing it. There are different kinds of proof, ...

Our approach is motivated by phenomena found in a corpus of tutorial dialogs that were collected in a Wizard-of-Oz experiment. We show how an intelligent tutor for textbook-style mathematical proofs can be built on top of an adapted assertion-level proof assistant by reusing representations and ...

The three mathematicians relied on a strategy--called proof by contradiction--that had been previously employed in related work. The argument goes roughly like this: First, the researchers assume the opposite of what they're trying to prove, namely that the solution does not exist forever--that...
1.(Mathematics) a mathematical statement that two expressions are equal: it is either anidentityin which the variables can assume any value, or aconditional equationin which the variables have only certain values (roots) 2.the act of regarding as equal; equating ...
But reports over the last decade voice concern about students'' understanding of mathematical proof at both secondary school and undergraduate level. These reports suggest that there is continued poverty in the understanding of proof by students. This article reports on how proof attitudes could be ...
Formal logic helps remove this “arbitrariness”; the formal rules are supposed to be chosen so that inferences are always intuitively valid. Moreover, the exercise of ingenuity is then given more shape in the search for admissible chains of inference to make up a proof. “In pre-Gödel ...
