and researchers worldwide. Issue 16 was published July 2002 and has already

The aim of the journal is to freely disseminate opinions and new thinking and 
to encourage informal communication, dialogue and international co-operation 
between teachers, scholars and others engaged in teaching and research with 
interests in informal philosophy of mathematics and mathematics education 
theories and research. The aim is to foster awareness of philosophical aspects 
of mathematics education and mathematics, understood broadly to include most 
kinds reflection and research in mathematics education.

Most items are welcome including papers, short contributions, letters, 
discussions, provocations, reactions, or reviews. Please use diagrams, figures 
and other inserted items sparingly.

theses for inclusion in this journal, to make available otherwise inaccessible 
resources for the benefit of the research community in mathematics education 
and/or the philosophy of mathematics. teachers and supervisors of masters and 
doctoral students are invited to encourage their students to submit. Past 
accepted items have included reports of mini-research studies in the teaching 
and learning of mathematics, etc.

The editorial hand is used very lightly. This is an international unrefereed 
journal which aims to stimulate the sharing of ideas for no reason other than 
an interest in the ideas and love of discussion among its contributors and 
readers. Please send any items for inclusion to the editor as a virus-checked 
E-mail attachment or on disc/CD. MS Word for Windows compatible formats
