About Us - UMathX

Neufeld Learning Systems Inc.

In the 1980’s, Rudy Neufeld, a mathematics and technology leader in Ontario, Canada, met Dr. Seymour Papert at MIT. Dr Papert had developed a simple, yet powerful coding language, Logo, to direct a robot on the floor and on the computer screen. Logo models a learning environment which encourages one to “teach” rather than to “tell”. In the late 1980s, Neufeld began to author “Learning Math with Logo”, a resource which uses Logo as an introduction to coding as well as in support of understanding in mathematics.
