Rezensionen

"This book can help mathematics educators place their research within a broader perspective of the development of mathematical reasoning, and it can help mathematicians see the deep connections between mathematics education research and their own teaching." -- (Patrick W. Thompson in Journal for Research in Mathematics Education)

"It promises to be the standard reference work for many years to come, and a source of both information and inspiration ... The book is a most welcome distillation and resource for further development in our collective sense of what constitutes advanced mathematical thinking, and how we can make it accessible to more people." -- (John Mason in Zentralblatt für Didaktik der Mathematik)
