N2  - The present publication comprises a collection of articles by the participants in the Russian-American workshop "Current Issues in Mathematics Education," which took place on November 18-20, 2016 in New York. The workshop was organized with support from the Eurasia Foundation in the form of a grant presented to the Moscow State Pedagogical University and Teachers College, Columbia University. Participants in the workshop included faculty from both institutions, as well as invited guests and colleagues, and doctoral and masters students of Teachers College, Columbia University. The collection opens with an introduction by A.P. Karp, followed by the articles in alphabetical order. Articles written in Russian were translated into English for this publication (conversely, for the Russian edition, articles originally in English were translated into Russian.)    The materials presented here mirror to a large extent the events of the workshop. They cannot, however, capture the extensive discussions of the papers and the problems they raised, which followed each of the presentations. A video recording of the workshop is available for those interested in that aspect of the proceedings. At the same time, publication of the papers delivered by the principal participants will likewise permit the reader to follow the discussion, as it were, by tracing the similarities and differences in the specific problems encountered in either country. To be sure, the issues named and discussed here do not make up an exhaustive list. Mathematics education today faces a host of challenges, and ideas concerning their origins and remedies are just as numerous. We must continue the discussion, facing head-on the difficulties and setbacks. Neither shall we attempt to isolate ourselves from the experiences of other nations, but rather try to use those experiences to our advantage wherever possible. It is our hope that the materials presented here will prove useful in that regard
