Peer reviewedBagnato, Robert A. – Mathematics Teacher, 1974
Proliferation of mathematical knowledge prohibits individual reduplication of all results and causes mathematicians to accept much on faith. To convey the spirit of the mathematical community, and provide maximum content coverage, instruction should allow students to accept some theorems without proof. Students would then find mathematics less…
