Peer reviewedSkelton, Ross – For the Learning of Mathematics, 1993
Makes the analogy between Wilfred Bion's theory of mental processes involving preconception and mathematical problem solving. (MDH)
Descriptors: Cognitive Processes, Mathematical Logic, Mathematics Education, Problem Solving
Peer reviewedMoreno A., Luis E.; Waldegg, Guillermina – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1991
Analyzed are the different stages in the conceptual evolution of infinity as developed historically through the work of Bolzano and Cantor. Results of a study of 18 to 20 year old's concept of infinity prior to instruction produced aspects of the passage between conceptual levels of infinity. (MDH)

Peer reviewedCerny, Barbara A. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1979
Replies to Stephen E. Robinson's article on the role of fuzzy set theory in information science (Journal of the American Society for Information Science; v29 n6 Nov 1978), particularly with regard to Robinson's discussions of uncertainty, min/max connectives, and relevance. (FM)

Peer reviewedRobertson, Stephen E. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1979
Responds to Barbara A. Cerny's reaction to Robinson's article on the role of fuzzy set theory in information science, addressing Cerny's points about probability theory and statistical uncertainty. (FM)

Peer reviewedJahnke, Hans Niels – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2001
Develops an epistemological and didactic view of the genesis of Cantorian set theory. (Author/MM)

Peer reviewedRobinson, Earl J.; Turner, Stephen J. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1981
Fuzzy set theory, a mathematical modeling technique that allows for the consideration of such factors as "professional expertise" in decision making, is discussed as a tool for use in libraries--specifically in collection management. The fundamentals of fuzzy set theory are introduced and a reference list is included. (JL)

Sawada, Daiyo – Elements: Translating Theory into Practice, 1980
Briefly discusses the importance of the idea of sets in the development of children's number concepts. (RH)
Descriptors: Concept Formation, Elementary Education, Elementary School Students, Fundamental Concepts
Peer reviewedWright, P. G. – Education in Chemistry, 1980
Presents arguments for and against the viewpoint that the teaching of chemistry and of physics should fall in line with modern mathematics. Concludes that modern mathematics has been beneficial in some respects and harmful in others. (CS)
Descriptors: Chemistry, College Science, Integrated Curriculum, Mathematics
