Gains and Pitfalls of Quantifier Elimination as a Teaching Tool
Oldenburg, Reinhard
International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, v22 n4 p163-167 2015
Quantifier Elimination is a procedure that allows simplification of logical formulas that contain quantifiers. Many mathematical concepts are defined in terms of quantifiers and especially in calculus their use has been identified as an obstacle in the learning process. The automatic deduction provided by quantifier elimination thus allows students to exercise the formulation of concepts using quantifiers. This may be seen as conceptual modelling.
