MISSOULA – 

University of Montana mathematics Professor Bharath Sriraman was instrumental in the recent publication of “The First Sourcebook on Nordic Research in Mathematics Education: Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Denmark and contributions from Finland.”

Sriraman worked three years on the project that culminated in the 750-page sourcebook, the first of its kind and a major milestone for mathematics education research in the Nordic world.

The project involved more than 50 authors and is part of “The Montana Mathematics Enthusiast: Monograph Series in Mathematics Education,” published by Information Age Publishing.

The sourcebook provides the first comprehensive and unified treatment of historical and contemporary research trends in mathematics education in the Nordic world. It is organized in sections coordinated by active researchers in mathematics education in Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Denmark and Finland. Sections for each country include historical articles and examples of recently conducted research oriented toward the future.

“The sourcebook will serve as a standard reference for mathematics education researchers, policymakers, practitioners and students both in and outside the Nordic countries,” Sriraman said.
