What Are Some of the Common Traits in the Thought Processes of Undergraduate Students Capable of Creating Proof?
<p>Mathematical proof is an important topic in mathematics education research. Many researchers have addressed various aspects of proof. One aspect that has not been addressed is what common traits are shared by those who are successful at creating proof. This research investigates the common …
