Abstract | The title of this book is Mathematical Modelling Education in West and East, arising from the ICTMA-19 conference with the same theme. It is argued that since both mathematics itself and mathematics education are human products, and solving problems in real-life context is at the heart of mathematical modelling and its applications, mathematical modelling, and its teaching and learning should be considered in their cultural contexts. Hence, consideration of issues about mathematical modelling in West and East will bring out the richness of mathematical modelling education. In this regard, the hosting of ICTMA-19 in Hong Kong, a meeting point of Western and Eastern cultures, has special significance for the discussion on mathematical modelling. After an introduction of the theme, the classification of the chapters of the book and structure of the book are explained. |
