Extract

The movement for reform of mathematical education in France, of which the first signs appeared about 1955, had two main objectives:

  • (a) to reduce the mis-match which had grown up between contemporary mathematics and mathematical education at all levels;

  • (b) to equip all pupils, as far as possible, with a view of mathematics which would enable them to understand and to master the increasing involvement of mathematics across an ever-widening spectrum.
