Table 5 Foci of profession-groups: Categories of KCs (Table 2) sorted to classes of Fundamental concepts, Phenomena and applications, Mathematical representations and Philosophical aspects. The values in the table are the sum of entries per profession-group per class of categories, normalized by the number of respondents (for the number of entries of KCs to each category see Table 6)
