Abstract

The systematic difficulties of understanding aroused by the teaching of mathematics lead to the question of the type of cognitive functioning required by mathematical activity. Is the way of thinking and seeing that is required to be able to understand in mathematics one that is spontaneously practiced in other disciplines, or is it profoundly different?
