Description
Summary:This paper presents three theoretical models that were recentlydeveloped in the field of creativity, the Theory of Investment, the ComponentialModel of Creativity and the Systems Perspective. And, the Systems Perspectivewas chosen to discuss the creativity in Mathematics, highlighting that for themanifestation of this kind of creativity is necessary to have the interaction ofthree systems: individual (genetic luggage and personal experiences), domain(culture and scientific production), and field (social system).
