INTUITION IN SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS

In writing the present book I have had in mind the following objectives:

- To propose a theoretical, comprehensive view of the domain of intuition.
- To identify and organize the experimental findings related to intuition
- To reveal the educational implications of the idea, developed for science scattered in a wide variety of research contexts. and mathematics education.
