5. Conclusion
This current ICMI study is itself a fine example of mathematics educational professionals working together to see what developments can be generated by studying the intercultural similarities and differences between East and West. Moreover whilst this is the final chapter of the book, which in some way represents the end of this ICMI study, it is the hope of the IPC and of all involved, that this study is just the beginning of more and deeper collaborations. We have made great progress in our own understandings through this collaborative work and we look forward to helping develop future collaborations to benefit a much wider group of professionals.
