Dear colleagues,
I am pleased to announce that the journal For the Learning of
Mathematics now has an easier way for those outside Canada to
subscribe. Personal subscriptions can now be paid by credit card.
For full information, and a form you can download, fill in, and fax or
mail, please go to http://flm.math.ca and click on FAQ at the bottom of
your screen.
There are also sample articles (under Extras) and a complete index of
all articles on the site.
FLM is published three times a year, in March, July and November. It
was created by David Wheeler 25 years ago, and aims to stimulate
reflection on mathematics education at all levels, and promote study of
its practices and its theories: to generate productive discussion; to
encourage enquiry and research; to
promote criticism and evaluation of ideas and procedures current in the
field. It is intended for the mathematics educator who is aware that
the learning and teaching of mathematics are complex enterprises about
which much remains to be revealed and understood.
Please spread the word. The FLM Board of Directors is aware that many
people have been frustrated in their efforts to subscribe by the rising
costs of
international bank drafts and money orders, and we hope that providing
this alternative way to subscribe will encourage many past subscribers
to re-subscribe, and many new subscribers to discover one of the most
interesting and thought provoking journals in the field of mathematics
education.
It would also be helpful for you to encourage your library to
subscribe, if it doesn't already. Libraries should contact the managing
editor, Elaine Simmt, for information about institutional
subscriptions, at flm2@ualberta.ca.
If you have missed some volumes and want to complete your set, back
issues are also available, and can also be paid for by credit card.
Contact the managing
editor for rates and other information.
Sincerely,
David Reid
Chair, FLM Board of Directors
