On the difficulties of acquiring mathematical experience: Case rural education

History and Overview 2013-12-10 v1

Abstract

Based on a variety of philosophical approaches and my own work for decades in pure and applied mathematics teaching and research, I explain my view upon the basic difficulties of acquiring the Mathematical Experience (in the sense of P.J. Davis and R. Hersh 1981) and submit a list of claims how these difficulties can and should be confronted.
