Researching the History of Algebraic Ideas from an Educational Point of View (original) (raw)
2009, Recent Developments on Introducing a Historical Dimension in Mathematics Education
AI-generated Abstract
The paper delves into the historical evolution of algebraic concepts within the framework of mathematics education, emphasizing how teaching and learning processes shape this understanding. It investigates the development of symbolic algebra through the analysis of historical sign systems, specifically contrasting the approaches of Mazzinghi and Jordanus de Nemore in solving arithmetic-algebraic problems. By studying these historical texts, the research aims to enhance contemporary educational practices in algebra.

The symbolic model for algebra: Functions and mechanisms
Model-Based Reasoning in Science and Technology, 2010
The symbolic mode of reasoning in algebra, as it emerged during the sixteenth century, can be considered as a form of model-based reasoning. In this paper we will discuss the functions and mechanisms of this model and show how the model relates to its arithmetical basis. We will argue that the symbolic model was made possible by the epistemic justification of the basic operations of algebra as practiced within the abbaco tradition. We will also show that this form of modelbased reasoning facilitated the expansion of the number concept from Renaissance interpretations of number to the full notion of algebraic numbers.
On the dialectical relationships between symbols and algebraic ideas
In: Proceedings of the 20th international conference for the psychology of mathematics education, L. Puig and A. Gutiérrez (eds.), Vol. 4, 179-186, Universidad de Valencia, Spain., 1996
The goal of this paper is to provide some preliminary elements for a discussion about the relationships between signs and algebraic ideas. In order to do so, in section 1, we discuss some semiotic and philosophical ideas about signs and symbols. The ideas drawn in section 1 give us a new perspective to understand some elements of the epistemological dialectic between signs and algebraic ideas (section 2). In section 3, we present some data obtained from a teaching sequence, shaped by our epistemological analysis, whose aim was to help students to evolve towards abstract symbols-ideas levels.
The role of symbolic language in the transformation of mathematics
Philosophica, 2012
One important factor to be considered in the process of algebrization of mathematics is the emergence of symbolic language in the seventeenth century. Focussing on three works, In Artem analyticen Isagoge (1591) by François Viète (1540-1603); Cursus Mathematicus (1634-1637-1642) by Pierre Hérigone (1580-1643) and Geometriae Speciosae Elementa (1659) by Pietro Mengoli (1626/7-1686), in this article we analyse two relevant aspects of symbolic language: the significance of the notation in the symbolic language and the role of Hérigone's new symbolic method. This analysis allows us to better understand the role played by this circulation of ideas in the formative process of symbolic language in mathematics.. 1 Viète published several works for showing the usefulness of this analytic art. On Viète's works see: Viète (1970) and Giusti (1992). 2 Hérigone's algebra consists of 20 chapters and includes: 1: Several definitions and notations. 2, 3: Operations involving simple and compound algebraic expressions. 4: Operations involving ratios. 5: Proofs of several theorems. 6, 7: Rules for dealing with equations, which are the same as those in Viète's work [These rules were: the reduction of fractions to the same denominator ("isomerie"), the reduction of the coefficient of the highest degree ("parabolisme"), the depression of the degree ("hypobibasme") and the transposition of terms ("antithese")]. 8: An examination of theorems by "poristics". 9: Rules of the "rhetique" or exegetic in equations up to the second degree. 10-13: Solutions of several problems and geometric questions using proofs (determined by means of analysis). 14: Solutions of several "ambiguous" equations. 15: Solutions of problems concerning squares and cubes, referred to as Diophantus' problems. 16-19: Calculation of irrational numbers. 20: Several solutions of "affected" (negative sign) powers.
