As a result of the editors' collaborative teaching at Harvard in
the late 1960s, they produced a ground-breaking work -- "The Art Of
Problem Posing" -- which related problem posing strategies to the
already popular activity of problem solving. It took the concept of
problem posing and created strategies for engaging in that activity
as a central theme in mathematics education.
Based in part upon that work and also upon a number of articles by
its authors, other members of the mathematics education community
began to apply and expand upon their ideas. This collection of
thirty readings is a testimony to the power of the ideas that
originally appeared. In addition to reproducing relevant materials,
the editors of this book of readings have included a considerable
amount of interpretive text which places the articles in the
context of problem solving. While the preponderance of essays focus
upon mathematics and mathematics education, some of them point to
the relevance of problem posing to other fields such as biology or
psychology. In the interpretive text that accompanies each chapter,
they indicate how ideas expressed for one audience may be revisited
or transformed in order to ready them for a variety of
audiences.
