MathEduc -- the reference database for teaching and learning mathematics (Q549602)

Summary: About 50 years ago, didactics in several scientific disciplines was established for university curricula as an essential ingredient for improving education in that discipline. At that time the documentation service ``Zentralblatt für Didaktik der Mathematik'' was founded, collecting information about publications on didactics in mathematics and publishing smaller essays on the subject. When most reference services changed their offer from a printed service to a reference database, the didactics in mathematics was offered in the form of the database MathDi. Shortly after that time the EMS joined the supervising body of MathDi as a member of its coordinating committee. Some years ago the subject of MathDi was broadened to cover more publications of interest for mathematics education. This is MathEduc now (MathEduc is available via \url{http://www.zentralblatt-math.org/matheduc/} with trial access for non-subscribers). The following will give some idea about the aims and mission and the facilities available with MathEduc.
