Abstract

The purpose of this article is five-fold: 1.to elaborate on mathematical pedagogy, the application of mathematics, the misunderstanding and the myth around this powerful language; 2.to explain the differences between theoretical solutions and constructive solutions; 3.to explain the influence of technology and its pivotal—in many cases, indispensable—role in teaching, and research, and solving real-world problems; 4.to give examples that show the failure of technology to solve several well-posed problems that possess (constructive) solutions, and to give examples indicating that widely-used software sometimes provides the wrong answer; and 5.to discuss the misuse of technology in teaching mathematics, a trend that unfortunately will have adverse effects on learning mathematics.
