This volume is, as may be readily apparent, the fruit of many years' labor in archives and libraries, unearthing rare books, researching Nachlasse, and above all, systematic comparative analysis of fecund sources. The work not only demanded much time in preparation, but was also interrupted by other duties, such as time spent as a guest professor at universities abroad, which of course provided welcome opportunities to present and discuss the work, and in particular, the organizing of the 1994 International Gramann Conference and the subsequent editing of its proceedings. If it is not...

In this volume specialists in mathematics, physics, and linguistics present the first comprehensive analysis of the ideas and influence of Hermann G. Gramann (1809-1877), the remarkable universalist whose work recast the foundations of these disciplines and shaped the course of their modern development.

Current interest in semiotics is undoubtedly related to our increasing awareness that our manners of thinking and acting in our world are deeply indebted to a variety of signs and sign systems (language included) that surround us. Since mathematics is something that we accomplish through written, oral, bodily and other signs, semiotics appears well suited to furthering our understanding of the mathematical processes of thinking, symbolizing and communicating. Resorting to different semiotic perspectives (e.g., Peirce's, Vygotsky's, Saussure's), the authors of this book deal with questions...

The first international handbook of the history of mathematics education. One of the main trends in contemporary research in mathematics education is an evaluation of what has been done (or not done) in the past in an attempt to understand the current state of affairs as part of a long and continuous process. A great portion of the research in mathematics education remains inaccessible to the vast majority of scholars at the very least due to a language barrier, since research in the history of mathematics education in different countries can often be read only by people who know the...

This three-part treatment on mathematical knowledge needed by teachers was a pathbreaking book published by the German mathematician Felix Klein between 1924 and 1928 and it is still as relevant as it was 90 years ago. The books pulse with the excitement of the actual lectures they came from and combine geometric intuition with the precision of arithmetic formulas in an inspiring way.
The first volume begins with topics associated with arithmetic, including calculating with natural numbers, the first extension of the notion of numbers, special properties of integers, and complex...

The second volume begins with an analysis of the simplest geometric manifolds such as line segments, and area and volume as relative magnitudes. The second section on geometric transformations examines...
