Alan H. Sloane, Alan H. Schoenfeld
"The conversational tone of the book invites anyone interested in
reform to engage in a conversation with scholars having distinctly
different areas of expertise".
—The Mathematics Teacher"In an interesting and somewhat unique
approach, Schoenfeld has essentially put into print a recent
conference on college mathematics. A commitment to math education
is apparent in contributors to this book."
—Contemporary Psychology"...sets an agenda for future research in
undergraduate mathematics education."
—The American Mathematical Monthly
