ICMI Study 19: Proof and proving in mathematics education

ICMI Study 19: Proof and proving in mathematics education -
10-15 May, 2009 Taipei, Taiwan.
New deadline for submission!
jps.library.utoronto.ca/ocs/index.php?cf=8

The Study will consider the role of proof and proving in mathematics education, in part as a precursor for disciplinary proof (in its various forms) as used by mathematicians but mainly in terms of developmental proof, which grows in sophistication as the learner matures towards coherent conceptions. A detailed Discussion Document is available from the above website. The two co-chairs for the Study are Gila Hanna (ghanna@oise.utoronto.ca) and Michael de Villiers (profmd@mweb.co.za). The deadline for contributions is August 31, 2008. Notification of acceptance: November 15, 2008.

The 13th Asian Technology Conference in Mathematics

December 15-19, 2008, Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University, Bangkok, Thailand. The ATCM 2008 is an international conference held in Thailand that will continue addressing technology-based issues in all Mathematical Sciences. Thanks to advanced technological tools such as computer algebra systems (CAS), interactive and dynamic geometry, and hand-held devices, the effectiveness of our teaching and learning, and the horizon of our research in mathematics and its applications continue to grow rapidly. The aim of this conference is to provide a forum for educators, researchers, teachers and experts in exchanging information regarding enhancing technology to enrich mathematics learning, teaching and research at all levels.
