Abstract

Mathematics education is a very active field of interest, with many journals and books focusing on the large variety of topics involved in such process, whose growing importance is mainly due to the needs of professional skills in the use of effective computational and modelling tools in solving real world problems. In this work we deal with the impact of technologically advanced learning technologies on mathematics education; we also focus on how web based approaches might suggest new paradigms of mathematical learning aimed to face in an effective way the new educational challenges of the modern advanced ICT and Network Society.
