In recent decades, there has been a growing recognition among university mathematics educators and beyond of the critical importance of addressing the challenges associated with teaching and learning mathematics at the tertiary level. Mathematics plays a vital role in preparing students for success in a wide range of educational programs essential to the knowledge society of the 21st century, including pure and applied mathematics, engineering, natural sciences, technology, economics, finance, management, and more. This broad impact of mathematics underscores the urgency of fostering research in university mathematics education and disseminating the findings of this research to a global audience.

This book offers a unique platform for researchers, mathematicians, teachers, and researchers interested in the field of didactics of mathematics to stay informed about the latest developments and consider future research agendas. The book originated from the activities of the INDRUM (International Network for Didactic Research in University Mathematics) research project, which aims to promote research in didactics of mathematics at all levels of tertiary education, with a particular focus on nurturing early-career researchers and fostering dialogue with university mathematicians.

The primary objective of the book is to provide a comprehensive synthesis of the research field as it emerged through two INDRUM conferences held in 2016 and 2018. It represents an original contribution that highlights key research perspectives, addresses seminal theoretical and methodological issues, and presents substantial results concerning the teaching and learning of mathematics at the university level. The book covers various aspects of mathematics education, including but not limited to teaching methods, assessment strategies, student engagement, and the integration of technology.

By presenting the latest research findings and insights, this book aims to inspire and guide educators, researchers, and policymakers in their efforts to enhance the quality of mathematics education at all levels. It serves as a valuable resource for anyone interested in advancing the field of mathematics education and contributing to the development of a more skilled and knowledgeable workforce for the 21st century.
