Mathematics (Education) in the Information Age

“The book is a perfect blend of academic, social, technological and pedagogical discussions. Each chapter ends with references for further reading. … the book is an excellent addition to the existing mathematics education literature. The very first reading of the book makes one admire both the content of the book and the way it is structured and edited. The lucid style of writing adopted by the authors makes the book readily accessible.” (Firdous Ahmad Mala, Educational Studies in Mathematics, Vol. 112 (1), 2023)“Each chapter provides a wealth of information with deep insight on how mathematics education and 21st-century teaching of mathematics to our students is quite different than even 10-20 years ago. … I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to gain a robust and well-rounded experience in teaching the next generation in the Information Age.” (Peter Olszewski, MAA Reviews, August 13, 2021)
