Cherkas, Barry – PRIMUS, 2023
An online intro-to-proof course provided an unexpected opportunity for a series of email exchanges that yielded insights into one student's mathematical thinking and the ambiguous role of mathematical jargon in miscuing this student's reasoning. The jargon deals with the notation [limit value of a function], which encapsulates multiple conceptual…
