Francesco Beccuti
PhD, MSc, MA
I am an associate professor at the Department of Mathematics of the University of Turin. My research interests mainly concern sociological aspects of mathematics education in relation to the discipline's history. My empirical studies concentrated on the analysis of (mathematical and non-mathematical) reflections of university students in mathematics, while my more theoretical contributions focused on policy documents impacting mathematical instruction internationally.

I also draw. Here is a short comic I made on the history of the Monty Hall problem.
