Publications on Mathematics in Work by the
Mathematical Sciences Group
Over a number of years, we have been carrying out a series of studies whose aim has been to
research the kinds of mathematical activities that professionals undertake in their working
lives. The studies have involved a range of practices: bank employees, aviation pilots, and
paediatric nurses. A new project for 2001 ("The Mathematical Components of Engineering
Expertise", funded by the ESRC) focuses on professional civil engineers. This work has
proved extremely fruitful for understanding how mathematical knowledge is used by experts
in professional domains, and has afforded an opportunity to develop a theoretical framework
for describing how mathematical knowledge is constructed more generally. It has also
allowed us to outline some provisional implications for new mathematical epistemologies and
pedagogies appropriate to the technological
societies of the twenty-first century.
