    abstract = {This study discusses the beliefs of prospective teachers about nature of Mathematics with
descriptors including: definition of Mathematics, relationship of Mathematics with daily life and view of the
Mathematics knowledge development. The 172 prospective teachers answered to an open questionnaire and
a series of semi-structured interviews. The research result showed that most students who had instrumentalist
beliefs believed that Mathematics was an exact science consisting of a set of unchanging rules, proved true
not interrelated but useful in life and Mathematics knowledge was predicted to remain, unchanged. Others
believed that Mathematics was dynamic, creative and always developed.}
