N1 - Funding Information: Many of the contributions to this special issue are the result of the activities of Mathematics and its Connections to the Arts and Sciences (MACAS). For the last five years, this group has focused on interdisciplinary initiatives in humanities, the sciences and arts with mathematics at the center and sometimes mathematics at the periphery. This group blossomed out of a topics study group on interdisciplinarity at the 10th International Congress on Mathematics Education in Copenhangen, 2004 after which Claus Michelsen (University of Southern Denmark), Astrid Beckmann (University of Education, Schwaebisch Gmuend) and I took the initiative to sustain the group and create long term research collaborations. Nearly five years later, MACAS has slowly mutated into an eclectic but core group consisting of mathematicians, physicists, philosophers, and math, science and art educators. MACAS1 was held in Schwaebisch Gmuend, Germany in May 2005, MACAS 2 in Odense, Denmark in May 2007, one mini symposium was held in Calgary, June 2007 under the auspices of the 9th Internatonal History and Philosophy of Science Teaching Conference (IHPST). The third biennial symposium (MACAS3) has been planned for 21–23 May 2009 at the University of Moncton, New Brunswick, near the beautiful Bay of Fundy, as a result of obtaining a developmental grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.
