IJRUME Special Issue: 11(4), December 2025 Making Meaning through, and for, Calculus in Biology, Chemistry, Economics, Engineering, and Physics Guest-editors Elena Nardi, Tommy Dreyfus, Alejandro S. González-Martín, John Monaghan & Patrick W. Thompson Handling editor Elise Lockwood   Webinar Invitation

Dear colleagues,   As you may know, three conferences on the learning and teaching of calculus have taken place since 2019 at the Universities of Agder (2019) and Bergen (2023), Norway, and the University of Milan (2025), Italy. Since the first conference, we have held a series of virtual events presenting outstanding developments in research on the learning and teaching of calculus. Five such events* have taken place and this is an invitation to the sixth!   We are pleased to invite you to a webinar that will celebrate the publication of a Special Issue that emerged from work at the 2023 conference. Making Meaning through, and for, Calculus in Biology, Chemistry, Economics, Engineering, and Physics, guest-edited by Elena Nardi, Tommy Dreyfus, Alejandro S. González-Martín, John Monaghan and Patrick W. Thompson, appeared in the International Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education, as issue 11(4) in December 2025.   SAVE THE DATE! Celebration Webinar Tuesday 26 May 2026 at 16:00 – 17:30 (UTC)   To receive a link for joining this event, send a message to Tommy Dreyfus by end of Sunday 24 May at tom...@tauex.tau.ac.il with the exact subject “Webinar Registration”.    We are also discussing with our publisher, Springer, the possibility of allowing open access to the Special Issue for a period around the webinar date and we will let you know as soon as we hear back!   We look forward to welcoming you to this sixth CalcConf virtual event!   Warm regards,   Elena, Tommy, Alejandro, John, Pat [Special Issue Guest Editors] and Elise [Handling Editor]   * The first virtual event, CalcConf 1+𝜀, was hosted in June 2021 by Pat Thompson and Guershon Harel and focussed on their co-edited ZDM Special Issue on calculus entitled Calculus in High School and College Around the World.   The second virtual event, CalcConf 1+2𝜀, was hosted in May 2022 by the guest editors of a Special Issue that emerged from discussions at the 2019 conference. This Special Issue was edited by Rogier Bos, Anatoli Kouropatov and Osama Swidan and published in Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications. It is entitled Tools to Support Meaning-Making in Calculus and Pre-Calculus Education.   The third virtual event, CalcConf 1+3𝜀, was hosted in September 2022 by the guest editors of aSpecial Issue that emerged also from discussions at the 2019 conference. This Special Issue was edited by Irene Biza, Alejandro S. González-Martín and Alon Pinto and published in theInternational Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education. It is entitled Calculus at the Intersection of Institutions, Disciplines and Communities.   The fourth virtual event, CalcConf 1+4𝜀, was hosted in March 2023 and previewed the forthcoming book The Learning and Teaching of Calculus: Ideas, Insights and Activities by John Monaghan, Robert Ely, Márcia Pinto and Mike Thomas, published by Routledge in the IMPACT (Interweaving Mathematics Pedagogy and Content for Teaching) series of books.   The fifth virtual event, CalcConf 1+5𝜀, was hosted in May 2023 by the guest editors of a Special Issue that emerged also from discussions at the 2019 conference. This Special Issue was edited by Robert Ely and Steven Jones and published in the International Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education. It is entitled by The teaching and learning of definite integrals
