Abstract



I report on the findings from research and literature on (a) use of symbols in
mathematics, (b) algebraic/trigonometric expressions, (c) solving equations, and (d) functions and calculus. From these, some insights and implications for teaching and learning are derived.

Keywords: calculus; equations; expressions; functions; learning; mathematical symbolism; teaching
