Towards an Accessible Mathematics Working Environment Based on Isabelle/VSCode
This "paper collects preparatory work for interdisciplinary collaboration between three partners, between (1) experts in improving accessibility of studies for impaired individuals, (2) experts in developing educational mathematics software and (3) experts in designing and implementing interactive proof assistants. . . . Major efforts have been undertaken to make the Internet accessible and the resulting browser technology, among others, is a great success. However mathematical content raises specific issues due to the structure of mathematical formulas, symbolic calculations and proofs."

African Mathematics: From Bones to Computers
by
Mamokgethi Setati; Abdul Karim Bangura
This is the first comprehensive text on standardized and other tests, performance factors, student characteristics, cross-cultural differences and studies, literacy, native speakers, social class and differences, equal education, teaching methods, knowledge level, educational guidelines and policies, transitional schools, comparative education, other subjects such as physics and social studies, surveys, talent, educational research, teacher education and qualifications, academic standards, teacher effectiveness, lesson plans and modules, teacher characteristics, instructional materials, program effectiveness, program evaluation, African culture, African history, Black studies, class activities, educational games, number systems, cognitive ability, foreign influence, and fundamental concepts. What unifies the chapters in this book can appear rather banal, but many mathematical insights are so obvious and so fundamental that they are difficult to absorb, appreciate, and express with fresh clarity. Some of the more basic insights are isolated by accounts of investigators who have earned their contemporaries' respect. Winner of the 2012 Cecil B. Currey Book Award.
