It describes and analyzes how a student develops from a neophyte who can manipulate simple arithmetic problems to a sophisticated thinker who can understand abstract concepts, can think rigorously, and can analyze and manipulate proofs. Most importantly, mature mathematics students can create proofs and know when the proofs that they have created are correct. Mathematics is distinct from other disciplines in the nature of its intellectual development. The book lays out these differences and discusses their significance. 410 0$aMAA spectrum. 606 $aMathematics$xStudy and teaching 606 $aMathematics$xStudy and teaching$xPsychological aspects 615 0$aMathematics$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aMathematics$xStudy and teaching$xPsychological aspects. 676 $a510.71 700 $aKrantz$b Steven G$g(Steven George),$f1951-$055961 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789908503321 996 $aA mathematician comes of age$93722336 997 $aUNINA
