Abstract
Four authors whose education and current position place them at different locations on the continuum from mathematician to mathematics educator use their experience to consider what contribution towards mathematics education mathematics educators might expect from mathematicians and what mathematicians might expect from mathematics educators and from mathematics education as a domain.
