O knihe

Interdisciplinarity has become increasingly important for emergent professions of the 21st century yet
there is a dearth of systematic studies aimed at implementing it in the school and university curricula. The
Mathematics and its Connections to the Arts and Sciences (MACAS ) group places Mathematics as a
vehicle through which deep and meaningful connections can be forged with the Arts and the Sciences and
as a means of promoting interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary thinking traits amongst students. The Third
International Symposium held by the MACAS group in Moncton, Canada in 2009 included numerous initiatives
and ideas for interdisciplinarity that are implementable in both the school and university setting. The chapters in this book cover interdisciplinary
links with mathematics found in the domains of culture, art, aesthetics, music, cognition, history, philosophy, engineering, technology and science
with contributors from Canada, U.S, Denmark, Germany, Mexico, Iran and Poland amongst others.
