Series Preface
Applications and modelling and their learning and teaching in school and university have become a prominent topic in the last decades in view of the growing worldwide relevance of the usage of mathematics in science, technology and everyday life. However, although it is consensus that modelling shall play an important role in mathematics education, the situation in school and university is not satisfactory. Given the worldwide impending shortage of youngsters who are interested in mathematics and science it is highly necessary to discuss possible changes of mathematics education in school and tertiary education towards the inclusion of real world examples and the competencies to use mathematics to solve real world problems.
