Long abstractIn this book, we started from the position that the doing of mathematics and mathematics education are human activities, with all that that implies. As the book was developed, the notion of ‘images’ of mathematics and mathematics education, both influencing, and being propagated by, human actors became salient. We suggest that an analysis of such images may shed important light on the many acknowledged discontents of mathematics education. For too many people, their actual and remembered engagement with mathematics in schools is unnecessarily alienating rather than the enlightening and empowering experience that it could be.

Brian Greer began his research on mathematical cognition, before shifting his interest to school mathematics. That evolved to reflect a characterization of mathematics as a human activity embedded in historical, cultural, social and political – in short, human – contexts.
