Yeping Li is Professor of Mathematics Education at Texas A&M University, USA, where he served as the Head of the Department of Teaching, Learning, and Culture from 2011 to 2015. His research interests include mathematics education, STEM education, and teacher education. He is the founding editor-in-chief of the International Journal of STEM Education and Journal for STEM Education Research, both published by Springer, and is also the editor of several monograph series including, Advances in STEM Education also published by Springer. In addition to publishing over 15 books and special journal issues in recent years, he has published more than 150 articles in topic areas that he is interested in. He has also organized and chaired many group sessions at various national and international professional conferences, such as International Congress on Mathematical Education -10 (ICME-10) (2004), ICME-11 (2008), ICME-12 (2012), and American Educational Research Association. He received his Ph.D. in Cognitive Studies in Education from the University of Pittsburgh, USA.

 

Roger E. Howe is Wm. Kenan Jr. Professor of Mathematics, emeritus, from Yale University, and the Curtis D. Roberts Professor of Mathematics Education, and University Distinguished Professor at Texas A&M University, USA. His scholarly interests include mathematics and mathematics education, with a focus on conceptual understanding and teacher preparation. He served on the Study Committee of the National Research Council that produced Adding It Up. He was Chair of the Committee on Education for the American Mathematical Society, 2000-2004. He was a member of the reaction group for the creation of the Common Core State Standards in Mathematics for the United States. He served on the U.S. National Commission on Mathematics Instruction from 2008-2016, and on Executive Committee of the International Commission on Mathematics Education of the International Mathematical

"I found this book to be an enjoyable read for stimulating ideas for my own future research and practice in mathematics teacher education, and several chapters contain ideas and results that I intend to cite in future work. ... I believe that this volume provides a good first step on the long pathway to improving our work as MTEs. ... this book offers the beginnings of a strong foundation." (Julien Corven, Educational Studies in Mathematics, Vol. 110, 2022)
"This book is an important contribution to the field of Mathematics Education particularly as it applies to preparing and supporting elementary teachers and their mathematical knowledge for teaching. I highly recommend the book as essential reading for all mathematicians and mathematics educators who teach pre-service elementary teachers. Graduate students in mathematics education will find it a very useful synopsis of the current research in the field." (Mary Beth Rollick, MAA Reviews, August 14, 2021)
