Mathematical discourse : language, symbolism and visual images /
This book examines mathematical discourse from the perspective of Michael Halliday''s social semiotic theory. In this approach, mathematics is conceptualized as a multisemiotic discourse involving language, visual images and symbolism. The book discusses the evolution of the semiotics of m...
