As one of the three panellists on the topic of proof within the Western and the Eastern cultural traditions, the author focuses on the ‘algorithmic’ and ‘dialectic’ aspects of doing mathematics with some illustrative examples taken from both the Western and Eastern worlds. The author argues that both mathematical traditions incorporate and use both aspects in constructing proofs.
