Recently released ICMI information

I have received from Bernard Hodgson, Secretary-General of ICMI, the following
information on substantial discounts for some of the ICMI Study Volumes.  At
the end of the message you will find the list of members for the ICME 11
International Programme Committee.  This Congress will be held from the 6th to
the 13th of July 2008 in Monterrey, Mexico.

Dear ICMI Representatives,

visiting the  Springer website this morning, I 
realize that substantial discounts are currently 
available on a few titles in the New ICMI Study 
Series.  Such is the case in particular for the 
following three softcover books:


Mathematics Education as a Research Domain: A Search for Identity
An ICMI Study
Series: New ICMI Study Series, Vol. 4
Sierpinska, Anna; Kilpatrick, Jeremy (Eds.)
1997, 600 p., Softcover
ISBN: 0-7923-4600-9
Sale Price US$74.95  (instead of $145)


History in Mathematics Education
An ICMI Study
Series: New ICMI Study Series, Vol. 6
Fauvel, John; van Maanen, J.A. (Eds.)
2003, 450 p., Softcover
ISBN: 1-4020-0942-9
Sale Price US$39.95  (instead of $74.95)


The Teaching and Learning of Mathematics at University Level
An ICMI Study
Series: New ICMI Study Series, Vol. 7
Holton, Derek (Ed.)
2001, 568 p., Softcover
ISBN: 1-4020-0072-3
Sale Price US$49.95  (instead of $93)


I have no  further information about this and the 
time when these prices are available.

I hope this information is useful and I invite you to share it broadly.

For more information on the NISS books, please visit
http://www.springeronline.com/sgw/cda/frontpage/0,11855,4-40414-69-33111341-0,00.html


I use this opportunity to remind you that 
according to the contract between ICMI and 
Springer, individuals purchasing NISS volumes for 
personal use are entitled to the following 
discounts (available at any time):
--  60% on the hardbound edition
--  25 % on the softcover edition
In order to obtain such a discount, an individual 
must contact Springer claiming to be an "ICMI 
member".

(The current sales conditions thus improve 
substantially the usual discount on softcover 
editions.)
