Windows on Mathematical Meanings : Learning Cultures and Computers : Springer : 9780792340737 : 0792340736 : 30 Jun 1996 : This book challenges some of the conventional wisdoms on the learning of mathematics. The authors use the computer as a window onto mathematical meaning-making. The pivot of their theory is the idea of webbing, which explains how someone struggling with a new mathematical idea can draw on supportive knowledge, and reconciles the individual's role in mathematical learning with the part played by epistemological, social and cultural forces.
