Thanks for the quote, Eric. Check out lchc.ucsd.edu/People/Joe Goguen for
a paper called the reality of mathematical objects. Ditto Anna Sfard at
Haifa, but I do not know her web address. An examination of what sort of
reality is represented by mathematical symbols is not just an historical
question,but a hot current topic with big implications for pedagogy.
