Abstract

AbstractThis is one of two contributions written to commemorate Professor Uri Leron, who became Associate Editor of what was then the International Journal for Computers and Mathematical Learning, a journal founded by Seymour Papert, and upon which Digital Experiences in Mathematics Education builds. One contribution includes memories from several current and former Editorial Board members. In this contribution, five former supervisees of Uri Leron share their stories.In addition to the personal and professional development of the storytellers, the stories reflect upon the distinguished career of Prof. Leron—a mathematician, an educator, a mentor and a colleague. These stories reflect a scholarly exchange devoted to the debate upon the nature of mathematical and computer science thinking and teaching. These topics are addressed from a variety of perspectives—cognitive, social and psychological—to highlight Uri’s interest in computing as a way to express and explore mathematical and logical ideas.
