Didactics of Mathematics as a Scientific Discipline  describes the state of the art in a new branch of science. Starting  from a general perspective on the didactics of mathematics, the 30  original contributions to the book, drawn from 10 different countries,  go on to identify certain subdisciplines and suggest an overall  structure or `topology' of the field.  The book is divided into eight sections: (1) Preparing Mathematics for  Students; (2) Teacher Education and Research on Teaching; (3)  Interaction in the Classroom; (4) Technology and Mathematics  Education; (5) Psychology of Mathematical Thinking; (6) Differential  Didactics; (7) History and Epistemology of Mathematics and Mathematics  Education; (8) Cultural Framing of Teaching and Learning  Mathematics.   Didactics of Mathematics as a Scientific Discipline is required  reading for all researchers into the didactics of mathematics, and  contains surveys and a variety of stimulating reflections which make  it extremely useful for mathematics educators and teacher trainers  interested in the theory of their practice. Future and practising  teachers of mathematics will find much to interest them in relation to  their daily work, especially as it relates to the teaching of  different age groups and ability ranges. The book is also recommended  to researchers in neighbouring disciplines, such as mathematics  itself, general education, educational psychology and cognitive  science.
