This idea appeared again when reading The Mathematical Experience by Philip J. I think that your proposed solutions to math education — in short, to rely on mathematical applications to other fields — fails to capture much of the mathematical experience. Have you designed the user interface so that the user can experience the mathematical content in as simple and direct a way as possible? Early in their lives children develop remarkable mathematical competence. 10:44 AM, September 12, 2011 · Don Foster said. 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. Scholars have little understanding about how this occurs, but assume that it develops in the course of children's informal mathematical experiences. It postulates that failure to participate in independent learning experience in mathematics contributes to the development of gender differences in mathematics performance. We tend to think of mathematics as uniquely rigorous, and of mathematicians as supremely smart. The preceding dialogues are both from works of fiction. Why sing the praises of a mathematical idea when, in the real world, no logical person would choose to use it to solve a problem? But that's no reason to cut out lectures, which form the core of the university mathematics experience. This has me interested yet it will have to wait for an opportunity to hold hands with someone. Stand inside the cave and move with the mathematical experience?:)Remember, mapping in correlation too? As for that mind trick of yours it seems to be related to the same as the out of body experience set up with the mirror and another person's body matched onto your legs when you walk towards it. 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. That being said, they may in fact truly represent how the majority of mathematicians experience their work.
