His main research areas in mathematics are axiomatic systems ingeometry and the factorial series in number theory. In education, he is theinventor of the Lénárt Sphere Set, a teaching aid in geometry and geography.He designed the Comparative Geometry Project for primary and secondaryschool. Patrick Barmby is a senior lecturer in mathematics education at theUniversity of the Witwatersrand. He worked for 13 years at DurhamUniversity in the UK before moving to Johannesburg in September 2014. Karin Brodie is a professor in the Wits School of Education andis currently the Head of School. Her fundamental research interest is in howlearners can be supported to develop deep mathematical knowledge as wellas strong, positive mathematical identities in resource-constrained contexts. Mellony Graven is a professor and holds the South African Chair ofNumeracy Education at Rhodes University in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. Fritz Hahne was a professor of theoretical physics and the dean of science atStellenbosch University.
