We theorize about ambiguity in mathematical communication and define a certain subset of ambiguous language usage as imprecise.

We…

Conrad, Dianne – Open Learning, 2003

In so doing, I discuss historical aspects of adult education, the importance of language as a naming function, the evolution of…
