Maria Cortas Nordlander

Maria Cortas Nordlander is a Lecturer at Gävle University. Her research focuses on mathematics education, particularly enhancing conceptual understanding in trigonometry, problem-solving strategies in multilingual classrooms, and the cognitive aspects of complex number comprehension. She holds a PhD in Mathematics from Université de Reims Champagne Ardenne (2005).

Education: PhD in Mathematics, Université de Reims Champagne Ardenne (2005).

Research Interests: Her work emphasizes improving student comprehension of mathematical concepts through visualization tools, dissecting text-based problems in multicultural settings, and analyzing how student attitudes affect problem-solving efficacy. Recent studies include leveraging visualization techniques for trigonometric limits and exploring the 'concept image' of complex numbers.

Key Publications: Her recent work includes studies on trigonometric limits (2022), visualization in mathematics education (2021), and problem-solving in multilingual environments (2019).
