In this paper, we examine mathematicians’ views on the value of advanced mathematics for secondary mathematics teachers. The data comprise semi-structured interviews with 24 mathematicians from 10 universities. The findings indicate that the value of advanced mathematics courses for prospective secondary mathematics teachers lies in their potential to offer connections across mathematical domains, mathematical experience for the development of problem-solving abilities, and increased epistemological awareness of the subject. Additionally, mathematicians’ examples that connect advanced and school mathematics are presented and discussed. While the mathematicians provided rich examples of such connections, we noted that such examples were relatively scarce and accordingly sought possible explanations in the discussion of the findings.

在本文中，我们研究了数学家关于高级数学对中学数学教师的价值的观点。数据包括来自10所大学的24位数学家的半结构化访谈。研究结果表明，高级数学课程对潜在的中学数学教师的价值在于他们有潜力提供跨数学领域的联系，解决问题能力发展的数学经验以及对这一主题的认识论认识的提高。此外，还介绍并讨论了连接高级数学和学校数学的数学家示例。尽管数学家提供了此类联系的丰富示例，但我们注意到此类示例相对较少，因此在讨论发现时寻求了可能的解释。
