Modeling and Applications in Mathematics Education - Laurence Reece - Bog

Mathematics refers to the science that studies the logic of quantity, shape and arrangement. Mathematics education is the practice of teaching, learning and conducting scholarly research on the transmission of mathematical information. Mathematical modeling is one of the cornerstones of mathematics education. It involves using mathematics to explain and define the events or issues in real life in order to test ideas aimed at making estimations about the real life events. It is done by developing and solving the mathematical expression of a real-life occurrence or issue. This method allows students to connect mathematics with their real-life experiences and learn it more deeply and permanently. This book discusses the fundamentals as well as modern approaches of modeling and its applications in mathematics education. It aims to equip students and experts with the advanced topics and upcoming concepts in this area of mathematics education.
