Thus the term 'image of mathematics' is conceptualised as a mental representation or view of mathematics, presumably constructed as a result of social experiences, mediated through school, parents, peers or mass media.
Even though mathematical myths are not necessarily false beliefs, they are mostly negative and could be harmful in distorting the image of mathematics of the students.
Mathematical reasoning is needed for critical citizenship, for understanding and for the making of sensible and informed decisions such as in voting and on environmental issues.

 David Tall - Concept Image
The terms ‘concept image’ and ’concept definition’ were formulated in 1980 by Shlomo Vinner.
My perception was more humanly based, so that where Shlomo talked about ‘the mind’ and thought about it as separate from ‘the brain’ in a cartesian sense, I always thought of the mind as the way the brain works, so that it is an indivisible part of the structure of the brain.
When I think about concept image, I think of the conundrum raised by the composer Mendelssohn, in response to a comment that music is too vague to be represented by musical notation.

 Dr. Dobb's | Image Mathematics | July 22, 2001
The image capture hardware converts this stream into numbers, which are then stored in the computer's memory.
It can also be used as a processing lab because, once an image has been captured and stored as numbers, that image can be enhanced or changed using mathematical manipulations to achieve some of the same tricks of the trade photographers have used for years.
Being able to manipulate images with only logical operations is fine for windowing and scrolling but is not enough for image processing and photography.

 David Tall - Cognitive Development in Mathematics
Initially, as a mathematics lecturer at university, seeing mathematics through the eyes of a mathematician, I used mathematical theories (such as catastrophe theory) to formulate cognitive theory.
The cognitive theory developed to integrate visual and symbolic aspects and their eventual transformation into axiomatic definition and proof in advanced mathematical thinking.
It is a simple theory based on perception, action and reflection, which is capable of giving insight into why some individuals are successful in mathematics but many others find it increasingly difficult.
