Legacy of Felix Klein

“This book is of great interest for those interested in mathematics education and in its history. … It makes clear the depth and subtlety of Klein’s ideas of functional thinking, intuition, and visualisation, and the deep epistemological roots of his idea of elementarisation.” (Michèle Artigue, Educational Studies in Mathematics, Vol. 102, 2019)
