• What Do We Mean by Mathematical Proof (2011, background): “Brown [5] argues that the achievement of Bolzano’s “purely analytical proof” of the Intermediate Value Theorem was that it proved a theorem independently known to be true though convincing visual arguments.”
• Mathematics Majors' Perceptions of Conviction, Validity, and Proof (2010, background): “Indeed, many philosophers of mathematics argue that it is possible to draw reliable conclusions from diagrams and this constitutes an acceptable way to derive mathematical knowledge (e.g., Brown, 1999; Giaquinto, 2005; Kulpa, 2009).”
