About this title

Synopsis

During the past decade, mathematics education has changed rapidly, giving rise to a polarization of opinions among the community of research mathematicians. What is the appropriate balance among theory, technique, and applications? What is the role of technology? How do we fulfill the needs of students entering other fields? The purpose of this volume, the proceedings of a conference held at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley in 1996, is to present a serious discussion of these educational issues, with a balanced representation of opposing ideas. Part I deals with general issues in university mathematics education; Part II presents case studies on particular projects; Part III presents a range of opinions on mathematics education in elementary and secondary schools; and Part IV presents the reports of the working groups.

Review

"...valuable...contains up-to-date views and concerns in mathematics education that are critical for all math teachers and educators alike." School Science and Mathematics

"...an excellent book for mathematicians and mathematics educators alike...All of the essays and reports are well thought out, well written, and thought-provoking. This book provides a prototype for dialog between mathematicians and mathematics educators. As such, it is an invaluable model for mathematicians and mathematics educators to follow in coming together to share ideas...I recommend it to any mathematician or mathematics educator who is genuinely interested in what the 'other side' has to say."
