The International Commission on Mathematical Instruction, 1908-2008: People, Events, and Challenges in Mathematics Education: International Studies in the History of Mathematics and its Teaching
Editat de Fulvia Furinghetti, Livia Giacardien Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 ian 2024
· Biographical information
· An outline of the various contributions made by the individual in question to the study of problems pertaining to mathematics teaching/education
· Primary bibliography
· Secondary with particular attention to the publications concerning the teaching of mathematics
· Images: photos, book frontispieces, relevant manuscripts
The authors of the portraits (30 altogether) are researchers in the history of mathematics, mathematics, and mathematics education. The focus on the officer’s role within ICMI and on his/her contributions to mathematics education, make the portraits different from usual biographies. In particular, since most officers were active mathematicians, the portraits shed light on aspects of their lesser-known activity. Connecting chapters place the action of these figures in the historical context and in the different phases of ICMI history.

Recenzii
“This book is essential for anyone interested in the history and pedagogy of mathematics from an international perspective, a book for reading and browsing and a rich resource for those seeking reliable information about important personalities and events in the history of ICMI over the past century.” (Dirk De Bock, Educational Studies in Mathematics, Vol. 115 (3), 2024)
“In The International Commission on Mathematical Instruction, 1908–2008: people, events and challenges in Mathematics education, Fulvia Furinghetti and Livia Giacardi lead a voluminous and highly documented history of ICMI (International Commission on Mathematical Instruction), the first large-scale international organization to bring together questions and actors in mathematical education. ... My genuine enthusiasm for this book, which is both precise, extensively documented, and synthetic ... .” (Thomas Preveraud, Historia Mathematica, March 16, 2024)
“The book is a testament to the thousands of hours invested by the editors to record and share the history of ICMI with anyone who has an interest in mathematics education. Its focus on primary sources and data nicely complements the varied perspectives found in The First Century. Thus, it is worth acquiring by any college or university library with a mathematics education program and by historians of mathematics education.” (Amy Ackerberg-Hastings, MAA Reviews, July 15, 2023)

Notă biografică
Fulvia Furinghetti is a retired professor of mathematics education at the University of Genoa (Italy). Her research concerns mathematics education (computer science in mathematics teaching, proof, beliefs, teacher education, history in mathematics teaching, and public image of mathematics) and the history of mathematics education. She was one of the organizers of the celebrations of the Centenary of the journal L’Enseignement Mathématique in 2000 and the Centenary of the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI) in 2008. In both cases, she was one of the editors of the proceedings. With Livia Giacardi, she has developed a website on the history of the first hundred years of ICMI. In 2001-2004 she chaired the International Study Group on History and Pedagogy of Mathematics (HPM) affiliated to ICMI.
Livia Giacardi is a full professor of History of Mathematics at the University of Turin. Her research focuses on the history of mathematics – in particular on the history of geometry in Italy in the 19th and 20th centuries – and on the history of mathematics education. She has been the Secretary of the Italian Society for the History of Mathematics (2000-2008), and a member of the Council (2000-2017); a member of the Italian Commission for Mathematics Teaching (2003-2012); and a member of the IPC of the Symposium on the occasion of the 100th Anniversary of ICMI (2008) and was one of the editors of the proceedings. With Fulvia Furinghetti, she has developed a website on the history of the first hundred years of ICMI.
Textul de pe ultima copertă
The purpose of this volume is to understand and outline the evolution of the objectives and field of action of the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI) from its creation in 1908 in Rome until 2008, through an analysis of the main events and protagonists of its history. It consists of three parts, each exploring different facets of these hundred years of ICMI’s life.
In Part I, four chapters retrace the three main phases in the century of ICMI's life: The foundation and early period up to WWI (Chapter 1); The rebirth in 1952 as a permanent subcommission of the International Mathematical Union and the broadening of the scope of action until Freudenthal’s innovations (Chapter 2); The “Renaissance” in the late 1960s and further development up to 2008 (Chapter 3). Chapter 4 presents a wide selection of unpublished letters and documents belonging to the period 1908-1974, coming from different archives, especially from the IMU Archives in Berlin. Part II presents useful data about the life of ICMI: The Timeline of ICMI, 1908-2008; The Central and Executive Committees of the Commission (1908 -2009); The Terms of Reference for ICMI (1954-2007); Mathematics Education in the International Congresses of Mathematicians (1897-2006); Maps on the process of internationalization of ICMI; Data concerning the first ICME (Lyon 1969).
Part III contains biographical portraits of the 54 members of the Central/Executive Committee of ICMI who passed away in the first hundred years of the Commission, and also includes the portraits of scholars awarded the title of Honorary Member of the Commission during the International Congress of Mathematicians in Oslo (1936), and of Charles-Ange Laisant, one of the founders of the journal L’Enseignement Mathématique, the official organ of ICMI. The portraits in Part III of the volume are designed according to a particular point of view because they focus on the actual involvement of these scholars in ICMI’s development and, more generally, in mathematics education.
