Mathematical Reasoning Analogies, Metaphors, and Images

"The topic addressed by this book is an important one both practically and theoretically....This book provides a relatively easy introduction to the relativist view that mathematical systems are culturally constructed rather than objectively real."
The British Journal of Educational Psychology

"I found this book to be an excellent catalyst for furthering my own understanding as well as my graduate students' understanding of mathematical reasoning. A collection of thoughtful articles challenged us to reconsider the nature of mathematics and mathematical thought."
Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School

"Together, the contributed articles form a rich and provocative collection, challenging some widely held ideas. They deserve careful reading by psychologists, mathematics educators, and philosophers of mathematics. Lyn English has done an outstanding job organizing varied viewpoints into a volume that is readable and well structured."
