Abstract
I use geometric linear algebra case studies to call for a "thick description" (in the sense of Clifford Geertz) of mathematical semiotic practice. This line of thinking leads me to intervene in contemporary mathematical structuralism (Hellman, Resnik, Shapiro) through continental linguistic structuralism.
