| "One of the big misapprehensions about mathematics that we perpetrate
in our classrooms is that the teacher always seems to know the answer to
any problem that is discussed. This gives students the idea that there is
a book somewhere with all the right answers to all of the interesting
questions, and that teachers know those answers. And if one could get hold
of the book, one would have everything settled. That"s so unlike the true
nature of mathematics." | |
