This book comprises the Proceedings of the 12th International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME-12), which was held at COEX in Seoul, Korea, from July 8th to 15th, 2012. ICME-12 brought together 3500 experts from 92 countries, working to understand all of the intellectual and attitudinal challenges in the subject of mathematics education as a multidisciplinary research and practice. This work aims to serve as a platform for deeper, more sensitive and more collaborative involvement of all major contributors towards educational improvement and in research on the nature of teaching and learning in mathematics education. It introduces the major activities of ICME-12 which have successfully contributed to the sustainable development of mathematics education across the world. The program provides food for thought and inspiration for practice for everyone with an interest in mathematics education and makes an essential reference for teacher educators, curriculum developers and researchers in mathematics education. The work includes the texts of the four plenary lectures and three plenary panels and reports of three survey groups, five National presentations, the abstracts of fifty one Regular lectures, reports of thirty seven Topic Study Groups and seventeen Discussion Groups.

The book presents the Proceedings of the 13th International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME-13) and is based on the presentations given at the 13th International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME-13). ICME-13 took place from 24th- 31st July 2016 at the University of Hamburg in Hamburg (Germany). The congress was hosted by the Society of Didactics of Mathematics (Gesellschaft für Didaktik der Mathematik - GDM) and took place under the auspices of the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI). ICME-13 brought together about 3.500 mathematics educators from 105 countries, additionally 250 teachers from German speaking countries met for specific activities. Directly before the congress activities were offered for 450 Early Career Researchers. The proceedings give a comprehensive overview on the current state-of-the-art of the discussions on mathematics education and display the breadth and deepness of current research on mathematical teaching-and-learning processes. The book introduces the major activities of ICME-13, namely articles from the four plenary lecturers and two plenary panels, articles from the five ICMI awardees, reports from six national presentations, three reports from the thematic afternoon devoted to specific features of ICME-13. Furthermore, the proceedings contain descriptions of the 54 Topic Study Groups, which formed the heart of the congress and reports from 29 Discussion Groups and 31 Workshops. The additional important activities of ICME-13, namely papers from the invited lecturers, will be presented in the second volume of the proceedings.

The Second Edmonton Conference on Approximation Theory, held in Edmonton, Alberta, June 7-11, 1982, was devoted to Approximation Theory and related topics, including spline approximation, computational problems, complex and rational approximation, and techniques from harmonic analysis and the theory of interpolation of operators. In conformity with the requirements of this series, this volume consists of refereed papers by a selection of the invited speakers. The conference was sponsored by the Canadian Mathematical Society and supported by grants from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada and the University of Alberta.

This book features selected papers from the 5th International Conference on Mathematics and Computing (ICMC 2019), organized by the School of Computer Engineering, Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology Bhubaneswar, India, on February 6 – 9, 2019.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Mathematics and Computation in Music, MCM 2019, held in Madrid, Spain, in June 2019. The 22 full papers and 10 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 48 submissions. The papers feature research that combines mathematics or computation with music theory, music analysis, composition, and performance. They are organized in topical sections on algebraic and other abstract mathematical approaches to understanding musical objects; remanaging Riemann: mathematical music theory as “experimental philosophy”?; octave division; computer-based approaches to composition and score structuring; models for music cognition and beat tracking; pedagogy of mathematical music theory. The chapter “Distant Neighbors and Interscalar Contiguities” is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Mathematics and Computation in Music, MCM 2017, held in Mexico City, Mexico, in June 2017. The 26 full papers and 2 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 40 submissions. The papers feature research that combines mathematics or computation with music theory, music analysis, composition, and performance. They are organized in topical sections on algebraic models, computer assisted performance, Fourier analysis, Gesture Theory, Graph Theory and Combinatorics, Machine Learning, and Probability and Statistics in Musical Analysis and Composition.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Intelligent Computer Mathematics, CICM 2019, held in Prague, Czech Republic, in July 2019. The 19 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 41 submissions. The papers focus on digital and computational solutions which are becoming the prevalent means for the generation, communication, processing, storage and curation of mathematical information. Separate communities have developed to investigate and build computer based systems for computer algebra, automated deduction, and mathematical publishing as well as novel user interfaces. While all of these systems excel in their own right, their integration can lead to synergies offering significant added value.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Mathematics and Computation in Music, MCM 2013, held in Montreal, Canada, in June 2013. The 18 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. They are promoting the collaboration and exchange of ideas among researchers in music theory, mathematics, computer science, musicology, cognition and other related fields.
