Shadows of the Truth: Metamathematics of Elementary Mathematics

Posted by Bunseth Lik On 8:35 PM 0 comments

This book is an attempt to look at mathematics from a new and somewhat unusual point of view. I have started to systematically record and analyze from a mathematical point of view various difficulties experiencing by children in their early learning of mathematics. I hope that my approach will eventually allow me to gain a better understanding of how we"”not only children, but adults, too"”do mathematics. This explains the title of the book:
meta mathematics is mathematics applied to study of mathematics. I chase shadows: I am trying to identify and clearly describe hidden structures of elementary mathematics which may intrigue, puzzle, and"”like shadows in the night"”sometimes scare an inquisitive child.
