About This Book

The book is based on the recently held Symposium on mathematics and its connections to the arts and sciences, namely the second Mathematics and its Connections to the Arts and Sciences (MACAS2)Symposium in Odense, Denmark (May 29-31, 2007). The chapters are an eclectic collection of interdisciplinary research initiatives undertaken by mathematics educators with implications for practitioners concerned with teaching and learning processes. The papers cover a wide genre of research domains within

Our Review

This collection presents groundbreaking interdisciplinary research from the second Mathematics and its Connections to the Arts and Sciences symposium, offering mathematics educators and students a window into innovative teaching approaches that bridge disciplinary boundaries. The eclectic papers explore how mathematical thinking intersects with artistic expression and scientific inquiry, providing practical implications for classroom implementation. Rather than presenting abstract theory, these research initiatives focus on tangible connections between mathematics education and real-world creative and scientific applications.

What distinguishes this work is its international perspective and research-backed framework for integrating mathematics across disciplines, making it particularly valuable for educators seeking to move beyond traditional siloed instruction. The diverse genre of research domains covered ensures that both secondary and post-secondary mathematics teachers will find relevant applications for their specific teaching contexts. Readers will emerge with a transformed understanding of mathematics as a dynamic, interconnected discipline rather than an isolated field of study.
