Vision
The Field Analysis of Mathematics Education (FAME) project aims to illustrate a historical perspective of the evolution of mathematics education in order to demonstrate some existing and potentially emergent connections between research focus areas, academic institutions, and influential figures (across time and place).
The FAME project allows for the exploration of the field of mathematics education from a longitudinal* perspective to better understand and analyze networks describing:
*Current database with over 10,000+ entries from 1900-present
