The discrepancy between school and academic mathematics as well as the resulting problems for secondary mathematics teachers’ content knowledge (CK) have been well known since Felix Klein pointed out ... mathematical knowledge: The mathematics teacher requires a general knowledge of mathematics in order to be able to communicate with other mathematicians and also to establish his credentials; but he also
physics lags behind other subfields of mathematics in participation of women.’’ Our grants coordinator asked for a citation; to our surprise, we found that only very general statistics for the participation ... ]) to gain a general picture of the participation of women in different subfields of mathematics. The AMS data for the academic year 2012–2013 are summarized in Table 2. We see immediately that women are

The thinking of language as resource in mathematics education research has been more metaphorical than conceptual so far. This article provides grounds and reasons for the theorization of language as ... meaning in the immediacy of situations embedded in cultures of school mathematics and the official language of instruction.

Lecturers often suggest or supply supplemental resources to give students the
I see the question what it is that makes an inference valid and thereby gives a proof its epistemic power as the most fundamental problem of general proof theory. It has been surprisingly neglected ... of general proof theory, a problem that the foundation of that discipline should try to tackle. It has been surprisingly neglected in logic and philosophy of mathematics. Proofs have certainly since

At least with the level of dosage provided in this study (approximately 1 h of dialogs), students’ approach to mathematics on the BSDT did not lead to systematically ... but not conclusive support, the second hypothesis (dialogs will transfer to general mathematics competency) was not supported by this study, and the third hypothesis (student beliefs about math concepts

Generalised spin structures describe spinor fields that are coupled to both general relativity and gauge theory. We classify those generalised spin structures for which the corresponding fields admit ... are coupled to general relativity (GR) as well as gauge theory. In the absence of gauge fields, space–time transformations of spinors coupled to GR can be understood by considering pairs (g, ψ) of a

This study investigated the ... by student interviews and end activity evaluations.

The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, a US based teachers association, strongly encourages teachers to make proof and reasoning an integral part of student mathematics. However, the ... . Polya (1960) writes that in mathematics as in the physical sciences we may use observation and induction to discover general laws. But there is a difference. In the physical sciences, there is no higher

The solution to the resulting integral equation in an appropriate solution space we call weak solution. Note that the weak solution in general has a lower regularity than both classical and
