This book is about the unique, sophisticated, and rigorous study of mathematics in Latin America developed over centuries of cultural exchange between Europe, North, and South America. More specifically, the book explores the tradition of mathematical modelling, introduced a century ago. This modelling was adapted to assist members of distinct communities to draw information about their own realities through the elaboration of representations, which generate mathematical knowledge that deals with creativity and invention. The book provides empirical evidence that a category of mathematical modelling developed in Latin America assesses the horizontal and reciprocal relations between mathemati...
Todos modelamos. Modelamos cuando vamos al trabajo y planificamos la ruta que tomaremos, lo hacemos cuando organizamos nuestra habitación buscando la armonía y el uso más eficiente del espacio. Resulta difícil no identificar la modelación en las actividades cotidianas, sin embargo, muchas veces pasa desapercibida. Este libro es una propuesta, liderada por investigadores del Instituto de Matemáticas de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, para docentes e investigadores. Ofrece una mirada desde distintas perspectivas de la modelación a las tareas y actividades de enseñanza, a la formación inicial y continua del profesor de matemáticas, a la enseñanza y aprendizaje de ...

«Los trabajos reunidos en este libro son de particular interés como material de apoyo para procesos formativos en didáctica de la matemática, permitiendo el contacto con temas de estudio actuales a aquellos que se preparan en la formación inicial para ejercer el papel de profesores de matemática, como para aquellos profesores que, ya en servicio, pretenden profundizar sus conocimientos. También son útiles a los propios formadores, proporcionando oportunidades de reflexión y desarrollo de sus prácticas formativas» (João Pedro da Ponte, Lisboa).
El libro está dirigido a docentes que imparten clases de matemáticas en las carreras de ingeniería: encontrarán un material de apoyo para su práctica docente en la formación de ingenieros. Además, también puede ser de interés a estudiantes de ingeniería y público en general. Los diseños de situación de aprendizaje que aquí se presentan tienen una terminología práctica, con un lenguaje accesible. Para tal fin, se conformó una epistemología con base en los usos del conocimiento matemático de los ingenieros en diferentes profesiones. Estos diseños tienen sustento en investigaciones desarrolladas en el seno de los programas de Especialidad y de Maestría en Matemática Educat...

'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
