Abstract: The article focuses on the life and contributions of Dr. Norma C. Presmeg, Professor Emerita, a prominent figure in mathematics education who passed away in 2026. Dr. Presmeg’s international career spanned South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States, where she advanced research on mathematical visualization, semiotics, sociocultural mediation, and the integration of arts and sciences in mathematics education. She played key roles in major organizations such as the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (PME) and the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI), contributing to conferences and editorial work, notably as editor-in-chief of the journal Educational Studies in Mathematics. Her scholarly legacy includes influential publications, mentorship of global students, and a commitment to fostering international collaboration in the field. [Extracted from the article]
