Abstract
Starting from a general discussion on mathematical proof, a structural analysis was carried out, leading to the construction of a model within which indirect proofs can be described. The model shows itself a good interpreting tool to identify and explain cognitive and didactic issues, as well to precisely formulate research hypotheses concerning students' difficulties with indirect proofs.I documenti in FLORE sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
