  • My notes

I have a project called Royal Road to Calculus about how school mathematics has developed, with focus on 1880-1920.
 
My main research interests have to do with mathematics. I have worked at the university level, developing inovative videos to teach metacognitive skills.  I have also developed a research program on mathematical beauty.  I spent 4 years working at Curiosum science center, creating hands-on activities and a research seminar geared at getting kids interested in science.  Currently I am working on a popular article about the origins of school mathematics.  This is a follow-up project for my paper on the history of compactness.
