 | Constitution and Production of Mathematics in the Cyberspace This book brings together various studies that assume phenomenology to analyze how mathematics education is affected by the experience of being in the cyberspace. The authors of the chapters included in this contributed volume work with the theoretical framework developed by authors such as Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger and Maurice Merleau-Ponty to investigate how mathematics is produced and comprehended in a new way of being in the world, with digital technologies. The aim of this book is not to explain the tools used and how one works with them in the cyberspace, aiming at better teaching and learning mathematics. Its purpose is to present philosophical investigations that contribute to the understanding of the complexity of the world in which we are being researchers and mathematics teachers. By doing so, Constitution and Production of Mathematics in the Cyberspace - A Phenomenological Approach will help researchers and mathematics teachers understand their role in a world in which the experience of teaching and learning mathematics is being radically changed by new technologies and new ways of being in this world.Maria Aparecida Viggiani Bicudo is full professor of Philosophy of Education at the Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho (UNESP), Brazil; professor in the Graduate Program in Mathematics Education at the same institution, Research Fellow at the at the University of California, Berkeley, and Invited Professor at the Facoltà di Filosofiadell'Università Lateranense di Roma.
