Mathematics education research routinely receives the attention of educators, mathematicians, linguists, psychologists, anthropologists, and others. In this volume, the induction of students into mathematical meaning-making is studied through the prism of these several disciplines. What unites all such approaches to pedagogy and to the assessment of pegagogy- and to the subject matter of mathematics itself - is semiotics.
