Didactics of Mathematics as a Scientific Discipline describes the state-of-the-art in this branch of science. Starting from a general perspective on the didactics of mathematics, the 30 original contributions to the book, drawn from 10 different countries, go on to identify certain subdisciplines and suggest an overall structure or topology of the field. This text should be of use to researchers in the field of the didactics of mathematics; it contains surveys and a variety of reflections which should make it useful for mathematics educators and teacher trainers interested in the theory of their practice. Future and practicing teachers of mathematics should find much to interest them in relation to their daily work, especially as it relates to the teaching of different age groups and ability ranges. The book is also recommended to researchers in neighbouring disciplines, such as mathematics itself, general education, educational psychology and cognitive science.
