Abstract
This article is the introduction to a special issue of the journal dedicated to the history of mathematics education of girls and young women. The article analyzes possible directions for research in this history. The authors discuss the general problematics of such research and briefly introduce the articles published in the special issue.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Mathematical Behavior solicits original research on the learning and teaching of mathematics. We are interested especially in basic research, research that aims to clarify, in detail and depth, how mathematical ideas develop in learners. Over three decades, our experience confirms a founding premise of this journal: that mathematical thinking, hence mathematics learning as a social enterprise, is special. It is special because mathematics is special, both logically and psychologically. Logically, through the way that mathematical ideas and methods have been built, refined and organized for centuries across a range of cultures; and psychologically, through the variety of ways people today, in many walks of life, make sense of mathematics, develop it, make it their own.
