Areas of responsibility

Teacher education, school year 4–9 (in Sweden, i.e. approx. 10–16 years old), in the two subjects physical education and mathematics. The Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences (Stockholm), and Stockholm University.

Bachelor of Science with major in mathematics. Department of Mathematics, Stockholm University.

Licentiate of Philosophy, mathematics. Department of Mathematics, Stockholm University.

Supplement courses in mathematics at undergraduate level (15 credit points). Department of Mathematics, Stockholm University.

Doctor of Philosophy, mathematics education. Department of Mathematics, Linköping University.
