Francesco Beccuti

After a secondary education focusing on classical languages and history, I completed a bachelor's degree in mathematics at the University of Turin and a master's degree in mathematical logic at the University of Oxford, as well as a master's degree in philosophy at the University of Triest. Finally, I obtained a doctorate in mathematics education supervised by Ornella Robutti of the University of Turin and by Paola Valero of Stockholm University. I am currently a lecturer at the University of Cagliari. You can write me at the email address francesco [dot] beccuti [at] unica [dot] it.
