"This volume consists of 25 thoughtful papers on mathematics education with the aim of reaching a wide audience. ... There are five parts, each described as 'benefitting' a particular audience: readers of this book, pre-service and in-service teachers, STEM majors, students in general education courses, and the public and the larger mathematical community."
