Texts that respond to the question, "How do you read like a mathematician?"

1 comment:

  1. To read like a mathematician you must:
    1. Be able to understand and give meaning to content specific symbols and language;
    2. Recognize the text is formatted sequentially and follow it in that manner;
    3. Have the ability to formalize the processes as you read through the text.

    Buehl states in "Developing Readers in the Academic Disciplines" that in the technical disciplines (which we argue includes computer science and mathematics), "reading comprehension is interspersed with action" (2011, p. 111). Students need tools, namely those listed in points 1 and 2, in order to meaningfully process the text. We feel that this is one of the most important aspects of reading as a mathematician because the process of comprehension is reading for information followed by action (processing), followed by intake of more information and more action, and so on.
