The ThirdInternational Symposium held by the MACAS group in Moncton, Canada in 2009 included numerous initiativesand ideas for interdisciplinarity that are implementable in both the school and university setting. The chapters in this book cover interdisciplinarylinks with mathematics found in the domains of culture, art, aesthetics, music, cognition, history, philosophy, engineering, technology and sciencewith contributors from Canada, U.S, Denmark, Germany, Mexico, Iran and Poland amongst others.
