This session is a part of the opening event for the exhibition ‘Wisdom of Mathematics: Exploration and Development’ by the Central Library of the University of Tsukuba from September 28 to November 8, 2015. Mathematicians interpret the development of their mathematics to foresight future direction and inspirit their explorations. Historians interpret the activities of mathematicians in the history for knowing the developmental processes with human efforts. Math-Educators use historical sources as for the materials in education such as to imagine the consistent structure and its development beyond generations through reorganization, and such as to enable us to understand others perspectives until cultivation and appreciation of mathematics beyond just acquiring the pre-established harmony on the system of mathematics. On this session, participants share the mindset of hermeneutic efforts for mathematics education as for the opening event.

Report of the session
In the meeting, the following people contributed to the theme: Luis Radford, Gert Schubring, Kenji Ueno, Yuriko Yamamoto Baldin, Wann-Sheng Horng, Shigeru Jochi, Márcia Maria Fusaro Pinto, Masami Isoda. The lectures and discussions were very much informative and fruitful by their specialties. Firstly, L. Radford, President of HPM, introduced HPM and presented his view for Hermeneutics and significance of the collection. Then, M. Isoda explained his perspective on mathematics education (2015) as the meeting host. G. Schubrin, presented his view for Hermeneutics as for research methodology on history with examples of various revisions of textbooks. K. Ueno, W. Horng, and S. Jochi explained the historical value of the books ‘Suanxue Qimeng’ and ‘Yang Hui Suanfa.’ M. Pinto presented the history of mathematics education as a discipline and Y. Buldin presented necessary perspectives for integration of several presentations. The speakers also discussed the further meeting for the book project on Hermeneutics, and the future HPM meeting at the year 2020 in relation to ICME 14.Session Organizer: Masami Isoda
