Symbols and Meanings in School Mathematics explores the various
uses and aspects of symbols in school mathematics and also examines
the notion of mathematical meaning. It is concerned with the power
of language which enables us to do mathematics, giving us the
ability to name and rename, to transform names and to use names and
descriptions to conjure, communicate and control our images. It is
in the interplay between language, image and object that
mathematics is created and can be communicated to others. The book
also addresses a set of questions of particular relevance to the
last decade of the twentieth century, which arise due to the
proliferation of machines offering mathematical functioning.
