Modelling and Applications in Mathematics Education
The book aims at showing the state-of-the-art in the field of modeling and applications in mathematics education. This is the first volume to do this. The book deals with the question of how key competencies of applications and modeling at the heart of mathematical literacy may be developed; with the roles that applications and modeling may play in mathematics teaching, making mathematics more relevant for students.
Ali's World
This is the story of Ali, an unusual child, endowed with a special talent. His life was cut short by an accident just when his talent was beginning to take shape. Written by his parents, this book chronicles the joys and the turmoil of raising Ali in a society that is largely insensitive to the needs of special children, who for one reason or another, do not conform to straightjacket societal norms. Ali began to show a talent for painting at an early age. During the last few months of his life he painted at a feverish pitch, experimenting with all kinds of mediums and art styles. Most of the paintings reproduced in this book were completed during this period. All proceeds from this book will be donated to Arpan , the Arpan Mukhopadhyay Memorial Trust Fund for disadvantaged children.

ALTERNATIVE FORMS OF KNOWING (IN) MATHEMATICS
This book grew out of a public lecture series, Alternative forms of knowledge construction in mathematics, conceived and organized by the first editor, and held annually at Portland State University from 2006. Starting from the position that mathematics is a human construction, implying that it cannot be separated from its historical, cultural, social, and political contexts, the purpose of these lectures was to provide a public intellectual space to interrogate conceptions of mathematics and mathematics education, particularly by looking at mathematical practices that are not considered relevant to mainstream mathematics education. One of the main thrusts was to contemplate the fundamental ...
Interdisciplinarity, Creativity, and Learning
Interdisciplinarity is increasingly viewed as a necessary ingredient in the training of future oriented 21st century disciplines that rely on both analytic and synthetic abilities across disciplines. Nearly every curricular document or vision statement of schools and universities include a call for promoting creativity in students. Yet the construct of creativity and giftedness across disciplines remains elusive in the sense that the prototypical examples of such work come from eminent scientists, artists and mathematicians, and little if any work has been conducted with non-eminent individuals. This monograph is an attempt to fill this gap by putting forth the view that interdisciplinarity ...
