Meta-mathematical knowledge about proof
Abstract
We deal in this paper with a particular difficulty with proof and proving at the undergraduate level, which concerns knowledge about proof at a meta-level. Some undergraduate students' difficulties or mistakes observed in their proof texts have been related to lack of that meta-knowledge. In order to test this hypothesis, interviews with a sample of students have been performed. Relationships with the didactic contract have been discussed.
