Ubiratan D’Ambrosio and Mathematics Education

This edited volume is written in memoriam of Professor Emeritus Ubiratan D’Ambrosio (1932 – 2021), who was a well-known Brazilian mathematics educator and historian of mathematics. This book explores the diverse facets of D’Ambrosio’s work as well as his legacy and the later adaptation of his ideas around the globe. It starts with a preface written by his son, Alexandre D' Ambrosio, who shares his personal experiences growing up with this father and his love for discovery. The book is then divided into four sections: Past and Future: Ubi’s Way of Seeing Education in the Present Roots of Ethnomathematics Ethnomathematics in Action Trends in Ethnomathematics It features diverse point...

Ubiratan D'Ambrosio

Esta obra apresenta, apenas, fragmentos de memórias do grande mestre, professor e pensador Ubiratan D'Ambrósio. Eles não caminham por nenhum método. Caminham pelas vias de uma 'dispersão' que intenta tangenciar, ao menos, alguns movimentos circulares da trajetória, em especial, intelectual do professor, pesquisador, e, sobretudo, pensador. Observe-se que a possível convergência entre as partes deste livro nos levam, por diferentes estratégias, a uma conclusão: Ubiratan D'Ambrosio é uma voz rara. Suas experiências de vida, assim como sua trajetória, oferecem um quadro animador face ao futuro incerto e oscilante que, continuamente, nos aguarda. Ubiratan sempre foi e será um ser que desconhece o cansaço, as paixões tristes e o desânimo. Com isso traz, para nós, um sentido existencial mais amplo e que nos conduz, com mais vitalidade, ao enfrentamento de nossas próprias vidas e atuação neste mundo tão desigual e permeado por injustiças.

Mathematics Across Cultures

Mathematics Across Cultures: A History of Non-Western Mathematics consists of essays dealing with the mathematical knowledge and beliefs of cultures outside the United States and Europe. In addition to articles surveying Islamic, Chinese, Native American, Aboriginal Australian, Inca, Egyptian, and African mathematics, among others, the book includes essays on Rationality, Logic and Mathematics, and the transfer of knowledge from East to West. The essays address the connections between science and culture and relate the mathematical practices to the cultures which produced them. Each essay is well illustrated and contains an extensive bibliography. Because the geographic range is global, the book fills a gap in both the history of science and in cultural studies. It should find a place on the bookshelves of advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, and scholars, as well as in libraries serving those groups.

  • Publisher: Springer

This book consists of interviews with the most important mathematics educators of our time. These interviews were originally published in the International Journal for the History of Mathematics Education and are now being offered to a wider readership for the first time, collected in a single volume. Among the individuals interviewed are scholars from Brazil, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States who have made a significant impact on the development of mathematics education in their countries and internationally. The interviews cover their biographies, including their memories of their own studies in mathematics and their intellectual formation, their experience as researchers and teachers, and their visions of the history and future development of mathematics education. The book will be of interest to anyone involved in research in mathematics education, and anyone interested in the history of mathematics education.

Proceedings of the Fifth International Congress on Mathematical Education

International Congresses on Mathematical Education (ICMEs), under the auspices of the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction, are held every four years. Previous Congresses have been held in France (Lyons), England (Exeter), the Federal Republic of Germany (Karlsruhe), and the United States of America (Berkeley). The Fifth International Congress on Mathematical Education (lCME 5) was held in Adelaide, Australia, from August 24-30, 1984. More than 1800 participants from over 70 countries participated in the Congress, while some additional 200 people attended social functions and excursions. The program for ICME 5 was planned and structured by an International Program Committee, ...

Internationalisation and Globalisation in Mathematics and Science Education

This book aims to develop theoretical frameworks of the phenomena of internationalisation and globalisation and identify related ethical, moral, political and economic issues facing mathematics and science educators. It provides a wide representation of views some of which are not often represented in international publications. This is the first book to deal with issues of globalisation and internationalisation in mathematics and science education.
