About Two Epistemological Related Aspects in Mathematical Practices of Empirical Sciences

authored by

Abstract

Mathematical practices, techniques and algorithms play a significant role in many disciplines (Winsløw et al., 2018). Consequently, mathematical service courses have become part of many study programs. Beyond the service courses, mathematical practices are also developed, adapted, and taught in courses of other disciplines. There, mathematical concepts that are also taught in introductory service courses sometimes have different meanings. Moreover, advanced content, like for example the Gaussian theorem in basic electrical engineering courses, is justified and used long before it is taught in service courses. Another illustrative example is that concepts like the Dirac impulse in signal analysis are often not covered in service courses.
