Amongst Mathematicians presents a deep qualitative investigation into the dynamics of teaching and learning mathematics at the university level. Drawing on extensive classroom observations and interviews with mathematicians and students, Elena Nardi explores how abstract mathematics is conveyed and absorbed in higher education. The book critically examines the pedagogical habits, communication strategies, and cultural norms among professional mathematicians and their learners. It offers both theoretical insights and practical suggestions for enhancing mathematical learning in university settings, making it a valuable resource for mathematics educators, researchers, and policy makers.
