Before
joining the faculty at Georgia in 1975, I taught at Teachers College, Columbia
University. I hold an A.B. and
M.A. from the University of California at Berkeley, an M.S. and a Ph.D. from
Stanford University, and an honorary doctorate from the University of
Gothenburg in Sweden. I was
appointed Regents Professor at Georgia in 1993. I have taught courses in mathematics education at several
European and Latin American universities and have received Fulbright awards for
work in New Zealand, Spain, Colombia, and Sweden. I was a charter member of the U.S. Mathematical Sciences
Education Board and served two terms as Vice President of the International
Commission on Mathematical Instruction.
I
co-edited the series Soviet Studies in the Psychology of Learning and
Teaching Mathematics
from 1969 to 1975 and was editor of the Journal for Research in Mathematics
Education from
1982 to 1988. Among other
editorial work, I edited the chapters on curriculum for the 1996 International
Handbook of Mathematics Education and the chapters on research for the 2003 Second
International Handbook of Mathematics Education. I also co-edited the 1998 publication Mathematics
Education as a Research Domain, the 2003 publication A Research Companion to
Principles and Standards for School Mathematics, and the 2003 publication A
History of Mathematics Education. My articles
include a chapter on the history of research in mathematics education in the
1992 Handbook of Research on Mathematics Teaching and Learning and a co-authored research report
on an innovative precalculus course in the 1996 Volume 3 of Bold Ventures:
Case Studies of U.S. Innovations in Mathematics Education. My research interests include mathematics curricula,
research in mathematics education, and the history of both.
I chaired the National
Research Council committee that produced the 2001 report Adding It Up and also served on the RAND
Mathematics Study Panel, which produced Mathematical Proficiency for All
Students in
2002. Both reports address the
development of proficiency in teaching mathematics—a theme of the Center for Proficiency in Mathematics Teaching
(CPTM), in which I serve as a principal investigator. CPTM is a collaborative research center funded by the
National Science foundation. The
research partner of the University of Georgia is the University of Michigan.
