Topic areas

Details

We invite submissions on any aspect of the relation between pictures and proofs, and especially in these three thematic areas:

  1. The role of pictures in logical or mathematical reasoning: What is the role of diagrams as objects of reasoning or as parts of the language of reasoning?
  2. Compelling imagery and the power of visual evidence: Do pictures afford evidence and certainty such that they can serve as proofs?
  3. Handling proofs and putting them to work: How have mechanical models, graphic procedures, visual and haptic manipulation contributed to mathematical reasoning in a wide variety of disciplines and applications?

Please submit a 400 to 600 word abstract via EasyChair by 30 November 2014. (You must have an EasyChair account. It's free.)
