Abstract
|
|
|
|
| I examine to what extend Varela's remarks on problem-solving can be applied to mathematical problem-solving. I argue that despite similarities between Varela's epistemological model and recent advances in mathematics education research on problem-solving, trying to fit ideas and concepts from the latter domain in the Varelian mold runs the risk of misconstruing fundamental aspects of mathematical problem-solving. |
