Professor Bharath Sriraman has edited a new and interesting monograph called “Crossroads in the History of Mathematics and Mathematics Education”. The monograph, which is going to receive the number 12 in the “Monograph series in mathematics education“, will be published in December or January, but I have been lucky enough to receive a taster to share with the readers of my blog.

If you are interested in the history of mathematics and/or its relation to mathematics education, this book will probably be of high interest to you! The contents feature a section with different topics in the history and didactics of calculus and analysis, and a similar section on the history and didactics of geometry and number. A third section includes four chapters on the history of mathematics in mathematics education. The authors are among the most prominent researchers in these areas, and the table of contents (see below) looks interesting.
