  • 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, ...

  • A Cultural History of Reforming Math for All

    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; ...
