“Our critics, especially those well-meaning pedagogues, should come to realize
that mathematics becomes simpler only through abstraction. The mathematics
that represented the conceptual limit for the minds of Newton and
Leibniz is taught regularly in our high schools, because we now have a clear
(i.e. abstract) notion of a function and of the real numbers.” – Gert Kjærgård Pedersen (1940 - 2004) in his book Analysis Now. |
