History in Mathematics Education: An ICMI Study

Title: Author: John Fauvel Publish date: January 31, 2003 Format: PDF Language: English Size: 7,7 MB ISBN-10: 1402009429 Description: Teachers who think that sterility of student minds is innate rather than their doing had better consider that when a student calls mathematics teaching stupid he is merely echoing the opinion of the greatest mathematicians who ever lived. When the teacher blames his student for being too unmathematical to grasp his teaching, the truth is rather that the student is too mathematical to accept the anti-mathematical junk that is being taught. Let us concretise this in the case of complex numbers. Here the teacher tries to trick the student into believing that complex numbers are useful because they enable us to "solve" otherwise unsolvable equations such as x^2+1=0. What a load of rubbish. The supposed "solutions" are nothing but fictitious combinations of symbols which serve absolutely no purpose whatsoever except that if you write them down on exams then the teachers tells you that you are a good student. A mathematically inclined student is not one who plays along with the charade but rather one who calls the bluff. Download:
