SUMMARY:"Mathematical Ability", Utrecht, The Nethe
 rlands
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20190415
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190417
LOCATION:Utrecht, The Netherlands
DESCRIPTION:Recently, the focus of inquiries intop
  mathematical cognition is shifting towards the pr
 ocess of mathematical activity: what is it to have
  mathematical ability, and how do we acquire the k
 nowledge how to do mathematics? These questions ar
 e informed by the various E-approaches to cognitio
 n (Extended, Embodied, Embedded, Enactive, Encultu
 rated cognition): our bodies, our technology, our 
 environment - both offline and online - our practi
 ces, our culture, our education, and our interacti
 onal history might all have some role to play in o
 ur mathematical ability and the development thereo
 f. How mathematical cognition is shaped by these f
 actors is a broad question that warrants an interd
 isciplinary approach.  For this conference, we inv
 ite scholars from various fields, including but no
 t limited to philosophy, logic, AI, cognitive (neu
 ro)science, and education studies, to submit propo
 sals for short talks on the following questions:  
 - What is it to do mathematics; what is it to have
  a mathematical ability; what is mathematical know
 -how?  - How do children learn mathematics; how do
  they acquire mathematical know-how?  - How can we
  capture, in a logical formalism, the ability to d
 o mathematics?  - What role does our body play in 
 our mathematical ability and the development there
 of?  - How can we improve the methods by which emb
 odied and embedded mathematical know-how is acquir
 ed, and can we design (digital) tools for this pur
 pose?  - How can interaction with digital tools im
 prove mathematical abilities?
