Abstract
This theoretical paper considers Mathematical Egotism’s role in the development and reinforcement of particular views of mathematics, beliefs about mathematics, and students’ beliefs about themselves. Various literature, examples, and considerations are presented in exploring how Mathematical Egotism contributes to students’ disengagement, disillusionment, or disaffection with mathematics. This paper also provides a possible antidote via Mathematical Empathy.
