MathEduc Database: formerly known as MATHDI, edited by Gesellschaft für Didaktik der Mathematik (GDM), MathEduc is an international reference database covering the literature on research, theory and practice in mathematics education.
To Access the Full-Text e-versions, click the "WorldCat" button: if that does not work, do check individual book or journal titles in the Library's catalogue, or contact your Subject Librarian for assistance — for example, the "WorldCat" fails for most of our statistical e-books. |

Most of the books are also listed in the Library Catalogue.
The Library does not have the complete SpringerLink content. Access is shown by a box beside each reference with three following options: If the box is filled with green, then there is access to it all; if it is half filled then there is access to some; and if it is white there is no access. |
