Análisis histórico-epistemológico en la educación matemática.

Abstract

Researchers in the field of Mathematics Education have pointed out the importance of performing historicalepistemological studies of mathematical concepts; there is even a wide discussion about the contributions of the history of mathematics to the teaching-learning processes of concepts. Partly, it responds to the problematic of the consideration of the concepts without a historical contextualization. In this article, we show two investigations whose objective was to make a historical-epistemological study on the construction of mathematical concepts, namely the ordinary differential equations and Fourier trigonometric series. Besides, the methodology of historical research will be discussed.
