Being a Professional MathematicianThis booklet details the curriculum resources created by the project 'Being a Professional Mathematician'. This aimed to produce a collection of teaching resources on the development of mathematics - stories from history and more recent development of the discipline. These aimed to counter a view of mathematics as a static, completed body of knowledge and instead encourage awareness of the process of doing mathematics. They aimed to develop students' awareness of the culture of mathematics. This booklet gives details of the material created and discusses how this material may be used in the curriculum. This booklet was written by Tony Mann and Chris Good.
