This first book in the series will describe the Net Generation as visual
learners who thrive when surrounded with new technologies and whose
needs can be met with the technological innovations. These new learners
seek novel ways of studying, such as collaborating with peers,
multitasking, as well as use of multimedia, the Internet, and other
Information and Communication Technologies. Here we present mathematics
as a contemporary subject that is engaging, exciting and enlightening in
new ways. For example, in the distributed environment of cyber space,
mathematics learners play games, watch presentations on YouTube, create
Java applets of mathematics simulations and exchange thoughts over the
Instant Messaging tool. How should mathematics education resonate with
these learners and technological novelties that excite them?
