A Volume in The Montana Mathematics Enthusiast: Monograph Series in
Mathematics Education Series Editor Bharath Sriraman, The
University of Montana Beliefs and Mathematics is a Festschrift
honoring the contributions of Gunter Torner to mathematics
education and mathematics. Mathematics Education as a legitimate
area of research emerged from the initiatives of well known
mathematicians of the last century such as Felix Klein and Hans
Freudenthal. Today there is an increasing schism between
researchers in mathematics education and those in mathematics as
evidenced in the Math wars in the U.S and other parts of the world.
Gunter Torner represents an international voice of reason, well
respected and known in both groups, one who has successfully
bridged and worked in both domains for three decades. His
contributions in the domain of beliefs theory are well known and
acknowledged. The articles in this book are written by many
prominent researchers in the area of mathematics education, several
of whom are editors of leading journals in the field and have been
at the helm of cutting edge advances in research and practice.The
contents cover a wide spectrum of research, teaching and learning
issues that are relevant for anyone interested in mathematics
education and its multifaceted nature of research. The book as a
whole also conveys the beauty and relevance of mathematics in
societies around the world. It is a must read for anyone interested
in mathematics education.
