This book presents the papers arising from the ICMI study seminar
on the popularization of mathematics held at the University of
Leeds, England, 17-22 September 1989. The event was organized in
conjunction with a highly successful touring exhibition known as
the 'Pop Maths Roadshow'. Inspired by the discussion document
prepared by Howson, Kahane and Pollak, the symposium consisted of
three plenary sessions discussing the problems faced in the
popularization through particular media. Members were present from
a variety of backgrounds and discussion groups were devoted to
specific themes, such as the image of mathematicians, TV and films,
and mathematics in different cultures. This volume will be valuable
reading for all teachers and mathematics educators and general
readers who are interested in the popularization of mathematics.
