Abstract: Mathematics provides a rich domain for discussion of deep questions about cognition in both humans and machines. Roger Penrose claims that it is impossible for a machine to understand mathematics, and therefore that a machine cannot be a mind. Research over several years into how university students learn and understand mathematics has led to a computational model of the task known as the Mathematics Understander (MU). MU can to some limited degree understand university level pure mathematics... (Update)
