Education and mathematics

The Swedish National Agency for Higher Education has decided to start a publication series as part of its efforts to promote education. The publication you are now holding in your hand is the first of a series intending to through light on education from the viewpoint of subjects available. We hope this will stimulate discussions on education and its various facets.

The publications are primarily intended for personnel active within the higher education sector, such as students and teachers, but an interested public can also benefit from reading them. Our society is in need of educated people. At the same time, however, it is impossible to be an expert in all subjects and sciences. The education on offer must not serve as an ever-continuous bad conscience regarding all the subjects we would have liked to study but have not. It must be permitted to be an ongoing enthusiastically experienced journey of discovery in mankind’s pursuit of knowledge.

Education is a concept of many dimensions. One such is to develop a deep interest in the all-embracing perspective of a particular subject; another is to see something that is not obvious. Education and mathematics is written by Lars Mouwitz who works for the National Centre for Education in Mathematics at the Göteborg University.
