Abstract

David Tall was my academic grandfather, a wonderful mentor, and a brilliant mathematics educator. He earned two PhD degrees in mathematics and mathematics education. His edited book, Advanced Mathematical Thinking, and many of his publications that followed carved the path to shape many advances in mathematics education. His work on the framework of the three worlds of mathematics resonated well with mathematicians, giving them a language to express their thought processes as they reflected on their teaching and research. His latest framework, A Meaningful Long-term Framework for Mathematical Thinking, extended his ideas further and captured more on the complexity of teaching at the university level. In this article, I will share a few of my memories of David Tall over the past 20 years to honor his tremendous contributions to the mathematics education community.
