Mathematical maturity

In mathematics pedagogy, mathematical maturity refers to the mastery of the way mathematicians think, operate and communicate. It pertains to a mixture of mathematical experience and insight that cannot be directly taught. Instead, it develops from repeated exposure to mathematical concepts. It is a gauge of mathematics students' erudition in mathematical structures and methods, and can overlap with other related concepts such as mathematical intuition and mathematical competence. The topic is occasionally also addressed in literature in its own right.
