Researching the History of Mathematics Education

An International Overview

This book offers insights into the history of mathematics education, covering both the current state of the art of research and the methodology of the field. History of mathematics education is treated in the book as a part of social history. This book grew out of the presentations delivered at the International Congress on Mathematics Education in Hamburg. Modern development and growing internationalization of mathematics education made it clear that many urgent questions benefit from a historical approach.

The chapters present viewpoints from the following countries: Belgium, Brazil, Cambodia, China, Cyprus, Germany, Iceland, Italy, the Netherlands, Russia,Spain and Sweden. Each chapter represents significant directions of historical studies.

The book is a valuable source for every historian of mathematics education and those interested in mathematics education and its development.

Über den Autor

Fulvia Furinghetti is a retired professor of mathematics education at the University of Genoa (Italy). Her research concerns mathematics education (computer science in mathematics teaching, proof, beliefs, teacher education, history in mathematics teaching, and public image of mathematics) and the history of mathematics education. She was one of the organizers of the celebrations of the Centenary of the journal L’Enseignement Mathématique in 2000 and the Centenary of the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI) in 2008. In both cases, she was one of the editors of the proceedings. With Livia Giacardi, she has developed a website on the history of the first hundred years of ICMI.
