Mathematical Viruses
The concept of mathematical viruses is due to David Hestenes in his paper Mathematical Viruses in “Clifford Algebras and their Applications in Mathematical Physiscs” edited by A. Micali, R. Boudet and H. Helmstetter (1992). He defines mathematical viruses as preconceptions about the structure, function or method of mathematics which impairs one’s ability to do mathematics. Our endorsing of his concept is not an endorsement of his judgment identifying viruses. We shall speak here of the viruses which affect the understanding of Cartan’s and Kähler’s work. |
