Handbook of mathematical science communication

Mathematical science communication, as well as the field of science communication in general, has gained momentum over the last few decades.

Mathematical science communication aims to inform the public about contemporary research, enhance factual and methodological knowledge, and foster a greater interest and support for the science of mathematics.

This enables the public to apply it to their practical life, and to decision-making on a greater scale.

These objectives are met in the various formats and media through which mathematical science communication is brought to the public.The first 13 chapters of the book consist of best-practice examples from the areas of informal math education, museums and exhibitions, and the arts.

The final 5 chapters discuss the structural aspects of mathematical science communication and contribute to the basis for its theoretical framework.
