    The Central Role of Cyphering Books

    by Nerida Ellerton, M.A. (Ken) Clements ...
    Series series Education (R0)
    The focus of this book is the fundamental influence of the cyphering tradition on mathematics education in North American colleges, schools, and apprenticeship training classes between 1607 and 1861. It is the first book on the history of North American mathematics education to be written from that perspective. The principal data source is a set of 207 handwritten cyphering books that have never ... Read more

    Reinterpreting History of Mathematics in North America 1607-1865

    by Nerida Ellerton, M. A. (Ken) Clements ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    This book presents a history of mathematic between 1607 and 1865 in that part of mainland North America which is north of Mexico but excludes the present-day Canada and Alaska. Unlike most other histories of mathematics now available, the emphasis is on the gradual emergence of "mathematics for all" programs and associated changes in thinking which drove this emergence. The book takes account of ... Read more

  • On the Teaching of Linear Algebra

    Edited by J.-L. Dorier ...
    Series series Education (R0)
    To a large extent, it lies, no doubt, in what is presented in this work under the title of ‘meta lever‘, a method which it is certainly interesting to develop and further refine. There exists in mathematics courses a strange prudery which forbids one to ask questions such as, ‹‹ Why are we doing this? », ‹‹ At what is the objective aimed? », whereas it is usually easy to reply to such questions, ...

    The Paradox of Making In/equality

    by Jennifer Diaz ...
    Series series Routledge Cultural Studies in Knowledge, Curriculum, and Education
    While many accept that math is a universal, culturally indifferent subject in school, this book demonstrates that this is anything but true. Building off of a historically conscious understanding of school reform, Diaz makes the case that the language of mathematics, and the symbols through which it is communicated, is not merely about the alleged cultural indifference of mathematical thinking; ...
