Abstract
This chapter pertains to higher mathematics education in various countries of the world. We try to present a review of significant and interesting research investigations and teaching experiences. The chapter starts with the description of some general features of mathematics education at university level that are more or less common in different countries. Following this, a number of research projects, both in calculus and linear algebra, on epistemological and cognitive aspects and curricular renovations are reported, and some nontraditional teaching methods that seem to be more successful than traditional teaching are presented. The chapter concludes with some summarising remarks and perspectives for the future drawn from the reported research projects and investigations on higher mathematics education.
