The theoretical part of the thesis consists of (1) characterisation of a general mistake, (2) pupil mistakes in mathematics including their seriousness, (3) psychological view of mistakes including learning without and with mistakes and a more detailed description of a cognitivist viewpoint of mistakes, (4) mistakes from the point of view of mathematics education research.
