He then argues that in seeking connections between mathematics and the 'real world', we have tended to reduce their relationship to one of modeling. Furthermore, in constructing what is 'real' in an overly concrete way, we have lost sight of the wonder of what is 'real' in both mathematics and the world. Brown explores alternative text formats, including that of the novel and the Talmud, as vehicles to rejuvenate the educational potential of problems and of real world connections.…
