• What Are Mathematical Coincidences (and Why Does It Matter) (2010, background): “…and proofs that merely prove that it holds are Steiner 1978a, Kitcher 1984 (esp. pp. 208–9, 227) and 1989 (esp. pp. 423–6, 437), Resnik and Kushner 1987, Hafner and Mancosu 2005, Tappenden 2005, and Mancosu 2008b. References to other literature on mathematical explanation can be found therein.”
• Aspects of Mathematical Explanation: Symmetry, Unity, and Salience (2014, unknown): “Tappenden (2005) offers a similar objection to this “winner take all” feature of Kitcher’s account.”
