Abstract
The involvement of mathematicians in mathematics education is as old as mathematics education itself. Very prominent mathematicians, such as Felix Klein and Hans Freudenthal, are considered precursors or even founding fathers of mathematics education as an academic field of study. Many well-known researchers in mathematics education started their career as research mathematicians, like Alan Schoenfeld and Günter Törner, to whom this volume is dedicated.
