摘要: Some difficulties with proof by contradiction seem to be overcome when students spontaneously produce indirect argumentation. In this paper, we explore issue and discuss some differences between argumentation contradiction. We will highlight how an abductive process, involved in generating argumentation, can have important role explaining the absurd proposition, filling gap final statement proved treatment of impossible mathematical objects.
