The article reports on the discussion of the study concerning the learning of mathematics. The discussion contains arguments regarding the paper written by professor Stone about functions. One of the arguments that is given attention to, is the concept of function being connected with the primitive concepts of pure logic, nearly unanalyzable and must be grasped by a psychological act of direct perception. This argument is also related to the child's development as the notion of grasping and perception are described to occur at some point in the development.
