Handa, Yuichi

For the Learning of Mathematics, v23 n1 p22-29 Mar 2003

Investigates the heart of the experience of mathematical engagement and the meaning derived from such activities. Analyzes dialogue between five people, two of whom are professional mathematicians, another two who are graduate students in either engineering or education, and one who lacks advanced mathematical training but maintains a positive attitude toward mathematics.
