Over the last 40 years, exploring the possible interrelations between the history of
mathematics and mathematics education has gradually emerged as an interdisciplinary …

This paper has two parts. The first part surveys Euler's work on the constant $\gamma=
0.57721\cdots $ bearing his name, together with some of his related work on the gamma …

We analyze our method of teaching with primary historical sources within the context of
theoretical frameworks for the role of history in teaching mathematics developed by Barbin …

This paper aims to provide an overview of the research on the relations between History of
Mathematics and Mathematics Education (what we call the “HPM domain” 1) with emphasis …

This entry attempts to trace the history of mathematics education, combining a chronological
approach with an analysis of separate aspects of this history. We will discuss the role of …

This chapter serves as an introduction to the seventeen chapters of this collective volume, by
providing an outline of the key points that form the core and main concern of the approaches …

In this chapter, an attempt is made to illustrate why the study of primary original sources is,
as often stated, rewarding and worth the effort, despite being extremely demanding for both …

Many are now teaching mathematics directly with primary histor% ical sources, in a variety of
courses and levels. How far should this be taken? Should we adapt or redesign standard …

Many learners hold traditional beliefs about mathematics that can hamper their learning in
the discipline. To address this issue, a “history-based” intervention program entailing …

Terrain curvature is one of the most important parameters of land surface topography. Well-
established methods used in its measurement compute an index of plan or profile curvature …
