In Chapter 1, we have seen how the algebra of the polynomial rings k [x1,..., xn] and the
geometry of affine algebraic varieties are linked. In this chapter, we will study the method of …

This book contains the stories of five mathematical journeys into new realms, told through
the writings of the explorers themselves. Some were guided by mere curiosity and the thrill …

In introducing his essays on the study and understanding of nature and e-lution, biologist
Stephen J. Gould writes:[W] e acquire a surprising source of rich and apparently limitless …

This paper presents a report on a study that made use of select mathematical problems from
the history of mathematics to attempt to improve attitudes toward mathematics in secondary …

Why would anyone think of teaching and learning mathematics directly from primary
historical sources? We aim to answer this question while sharing our own experiences, and …

This article develops the argument that students in initial teacher education benefit in terms
of who they are becoming from developing awareness of and engagement in the history of …

Leonhard Euler likely developed his summation formula in 1732, and soon used it to
estimate the sum of the reciprocal squares to 14 digits---a value mathematicians had been …

수학사의 교육적 연구를 비판적으로 분석해 보고, 교사 및 교사교육자를 대상으로 하여 실시한
설문조사와 면담결과를 통해 수학사를 교육적으로 활용하고자 할 때 해결되어야 할 문제점을 …

University level mathematics is organised differently in different universities. In this paper we
consider mathematics programmes leading to a graduate degree in mathematics. We briefly …

We describe a chapter in a forthcoming book based on original historical sources, emerging
from an upper level capstone undergraduate mathematics course. Each chapter tells an …
