Springer - Signs of Signification: Semiotics in Math Education

Explore the evolving landscape of mathematics education research with Signs of Signification: Semiotics in Mathematics Education Research. Published by Springer as part of the ICME-13 Monographs, this book provides a deep look into the semiotic theories used within the field over the last twenty years. Building upon the foundation laid by the Topical Survey, Semiotics in Mathematics Education, this text serves as both an introduction to semiotics as the science of signs and an expansion on key issues identified in previous research. It is a specialized resource designed for those studying how signs and symbols function within mathematical learning and instruction. The volume contains 17 detailed chapters based on presentations from Topic Study Group 54 at the ICME-13 conference. With an introductory chapter and a closing chapter to frame the research, this book offers a structured way to understand the significant developments in semiotic applications within mathematics education research.
