HISTORY OF MATHEMATICS EDUCATION – PERSONAL PERSPECTIVES (Instead of an introduction)
This book consists of interviews published in the International Journal for the History of Mathematics Education. When this journal first appeared in 2006, it was the only international scholarly periodical devoted to this field, and it remains so to this day. Interviews with major figures in mathematics education began to be conducted and published in the journal in 2007, becoming one of its regular features. Gradually, a certain stable set of questions developed, which were posed and discussed in the course of virtually every interview, though naturally discussion was usually not restricted to them alone. In this book, thanks to the kind permission of the journal's publisher, the Consortium for Mathematics and Its Applications (COMAP), it has been possible to reproduce virtually without changes all of the interviews published thus far. We expect that they may be of interest to a wide readership, including those readers whose interests are relatively far from the history of mathematics education. The journal plans to continue publishing interviews, and of course the list of people who may be considered leaders in mathematics education is not exhausted by those represented in the interviews in this book. The present volume offers its readers interviews with eleven different individuals— individuals with different lives, different interests, and different
