By Bart van Kerkhove,jean paul van bendegem

In the eyes of the editors, this ebook might be thought of successful if it may well persuade its readers of the next: that it's warranted to dream of a pragmatic and full-fledged conception of mathematical practices, within the plural. If this sort of concept is feasible, it is going to suggest variety of almost immediately latest fierce oppositions among philosophers, sociologists, educators, and different events concerned, are actually illusory.
