Abstract
I argue that since technology is already changing the way we do mathematics, we can use this technology to allow mathematics to be more congressive without human mathematicians becoming redundant in the face of technological advances. In thinking about what it means to “do mathematics,” I examine the following aspects of technology in mathematics: teaching and learning, asking questions, collaboration, dissemination, and the act of doing research. This is not intended to be a rigorous analysis but an informed reflection based on my experience as a mathematician.
期刊介绍:
ACS Applied Bio Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of biomaterials and biointerfaces including and beyond the traditional biosensing, biomedical and therapeutic applications.
The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrates knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important bio applications. The journal is specifically interested in work that addresses the relationship between structure and function and assesses the stability and degradation of materials under relevant environmental and biological conditions.
