Description

Mathematics plays many roles in physics and physics education. Although these roles have previously been widely discussed in the physics education research community, no systematic picture of the multifaceted considerations has yet been formed. To gain a comprehensive overview of the existing studies on this topic, we have conducted a systematic literature review. In this presentation, we will outline the employed review and analysis methods and discuss our findings along with their implications.
