All are guided by the notion that our understanding of mathematical knowledge must be grounded in and reflect the realities of mathematical practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapters on the philosophy of mathematics illustrate the growing influence of a pragmatic view in a field traditionally dominated by platonic perspectives. In a section on mathematics, politics, and pedagogy, the emphasis is on politics and values in mathematics education. Issues addressed include gender and mathematics, applied mathematics and social concerns, and the reflective and dialogical nature of mathematical knowledge. The concluding section deals with the history and sociology of mathematics, and with mathematics and social change. Contributors include Philip J. Davis, Helga Jungwirth, Nel Noddings, Yehuda Rav, Michael D. Resnik, Ole Skovsmose, and Thomas Tymoczko.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sal Restivo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0791413306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780791413302\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Sal Restivo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48086861775103,"sku":"9780791413302","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_38818d8f-af25-48c5-a8b4-75a018b7383c.jpg?v=1769097007","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/math-worlds-sal-restivo-9780791413302","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
