Explore the journey from mathematics to mathematics education in this 42-minute lecture by Anna Sfard, presented at the International Mathematical Union. Delve into the conceptualization of mathematics as an activity of creating narratives that produce their own objects. Examine the origins and consequences of this perspective while following Sfard's personal transition between fields. Learn about defining mathematics, understanding mathematical objects, and the nondualist approach. Investigate objectification, story definition, and the role of stories in mathematical discourse. Analyze discourse development, two levels of learning, and the concept of reinvention in mathematics education.
