How is mathematics different from mathematics education?

Answer:

"Mathematics Education" is the name given to the course of studies that prepares a student to be an elementary or secondary school math teacher. A math education major must take courses in the theory and practice of teaching and complete student teaching assignments as well as take courses in mathematics. A mathematics major generally does not take courses in teaching, but may be required to take more courses in advanced mathemetics and related disciplines.
