Abstract
Comments and thoughts raised by Henry Pollak’s plenary are reflected on at the meta-level and on the basis of a “mathematical modelling map” which the reactor created as a simple instrument opening a field between applied and pure mathematics as well as between theoretical aspects and empirical results concerning teaching and learning of mathematical modelling. This map also shows Henry Pollak’s and the reactor’s position within this map and their “moves” in order to give an insight into two “generations” of mathematical modellers.
