AUTHOR
SUMMARY
' Taking a refreshing noneurocentric position which refutes any suggestion that 'West is best' as regards the development of mathematical thinking, Bishop sees mathematical development as being a function of the needs of whatever society in which it arises. ' Tony Brown (Manchester Polytechnic) , in Mathematics Teaching ' This book is an informed, extremely rational and objective account of some aspects of enculturation and educational activity in the field of mathematics. I would recommend the book to all interested in mathematics education and curriculum design. ' Kathryn Crawford (The University of Sydney) , in Educational Studies in Mathematics ' What is unique about Bishop's account is his attempt to specify and describe a universal set of activities that have supported and shaped the development of mathematics throughout the world. ' J. Stigler, in Journal for Research in Mathematics EducationBishop, Alan J. is the author of 'Mathematical Enculturation' with ISBN 9780792312703 and ISBN 0792312708.
