Mathematics Education in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
Description
This book highlights the contribution of artificial intelligence for mathematics education. It provides concrete ideas supported by mathematical work obtained through dynamic international collaboration, and discusses the flourishing of new mathematics in the contemporary world from a sustainable development perspective.
Over the past thirty years, artificial intelligence has gradually infiltrated all facets of society. When it is deployed in interaction with the human designer or user, AI certainly raises new ethical questions. But as soon as it aims to augment intelligence in a kind of human-machine partnership, it goes to the heart of knowledge development and the very performance of work. The proposed themes and the sections of the book address original issues relating to the creation of AI milieus to work on mathematics, to the AI-supported learning of mathematics and to the coordination of « usual » paper/pencil techniquesand « new » AI-aided educational working spaces. The authors of the book and the coordinators of each section are all established specialists in mathematics didactics, mathematics and computer science. In summary, this book is a must-read for everyone interested in the teaching and learning of mathematics, and it concerns the interaction between the human and the machine in both directions. It contains ideas, questions and inspiration that invite to take up the challenge of Artificial Intelligence contributing to Mathematical Human Learning.

She is member of the research group PID2020-113192GB-I00 (Mathematical Visualization: Foundations, Algorithms and Applications) from the Spanish MICINN. She has been Rector of Universidad Antonio de Nebrija from 2010 to 2014. She authorship several scientific papers in different indexed journals and many scientific communications and conferences on topics as Real Algebraic Geometry, Computer Algebra, Automatic Reasoning in Dynamic Geometry and Mathematics Education. Now her research interest is focused in automatic reasoning in geometry, as well as algorithms, implementation and its applications to other fields as math education, linkages visualization and augmented reality. She has been organizer of international workshops, special sessions and conferences, as well as program committe (ACA, CAGDME, ATCM, Maple Conference, Bienal RSME, RAAG). She has been a guest researcher at Università di Pisa, Louisiana State University, Johannes Kepler University and at the University of Montreal. She has been invited to deliver lectures at the IHP of Paris, the University of Trento, the Eindhoven University of Technology, the Louisiana State University or the University of Pisa.
Steven Van Vaerenbergh is assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics, Statistics and Computing at Universidad de Cantabria (Spain). He has conducted research in artificial intelligence, co-authoring scientific publications on machine learning theory and multivariate statistics. Drawing upon this experience, his current research activity focuses on the applications of artificial intelligence in mathematics education, in particular on novel technological learning environments and automated systems to provide individualized learning experiences. He has co-authored several scientific papers on these topics, as well as publications on related subjects such as dynamic geometry systems. He hasparticipated in the organizing committees of international conferences and, in particular, he recently co-organized the Symposium on Artificial Intelligence for Mathematics Education (AI4ME).
