Popular Cultural Portrayals Of Those Who Do Mathematics, Carmen M. Latterell, Janelle L. Wilson
Popular Cultural Portrayals Of Those Who Do Mathematics, Carmen M. Latterell, Janelle L. Wilson
Humanistic Mathematics Network Journal
This article examines the popular cultural portrayals of mathematicians, but also anyone who does mathematics. Themes occurring in comic strips, television programs, literature, and, especially, in the movies are examined. Implications discussed include that secondary students are not going to be willing to do mathematics, if doing mathematics is not presented as a cultural activity.

On The Preparation Of High School Mathematics Teachers, Edna Maura Zuffi
Humanistic Mathematics Network Journal
In this paper I discuss some results got in 1997/98 with Brazilian mathematics school teachers. The research was done to investigate their mathematical language as related to the concept of function. A dichotomy was detected between “formal” and “practical” language they used to express their own conceptions of function, as well as to teach their students this subject. Also, I found teachers’ conceptual images “shrinking” as soon as they were far from their colleges or universities programs.
