Abstract

BERGE, Analía. Análisis institucional a propósito de la noción de completitud del conjunto de los números reales. Relime [online]. 2006, vol.9, n.1, pp.31-64. ISSN 2007-6819.

This paper presents a longitudinal study of four undergraduate mathematics courses. The analysis of problems and exercises given in the outlines of the courses, allows us to describe a particular mathematical organization of the notion of completeness of the set of real numbers. It allows us also to make a hypothesis about the acquisition of knowledge of this topic, which is considered as an example of the passing from Calculus to Mathematical Analysis.

Keywords : Real numbers; completeness; institutional analysis; praxeologies; mathematical organization.
