So overall the mathematical experience was fruitful, while a bit frustrating. One of his classic works (with Philip Davis), that most of you have likely read, was "The Mathematical Experience," which Martin Gardner reviewed quite critically back in 1981. Off topic "The mathematical experience" by Philip Davis and Reuben Hersh is an amusing collection of articles about the cultural context of mathematics. Given the complexity of brain dynamics and of our inner experience, we expect the mathematical constructs connecting neuroscience and mind to be far less simple than Newton's, Maxwell's, or Schrödinger's equations. Was Gauss, who was one of the greatest mathematicians of all time, correct when he made the controversial remark that scientific theories involve infinities merely as idealizations and merely in order to make for easy applications of those theories, when in fact all physically real entities are finite? How did the invention of set theory change the meaning of . It is an even more impossible task to listen to five or more condensed graduate courses every day. Desired requirements include: Five years experience teaching in a high school classroom setting. The mathematics of Web 2.0: Why don't ALL social networking sites experience phenomenal growth? After the experiences of mathematical activities being proposed as a new curriculum objective, many issues about Mathematical activities experience need to be study, which is a present consensus for many mathematical educators.
