This book presents a history of mathematic between 1607 and 1865 in that part of mainland North America which is north of Mexico but excludes the present-day Canada and Alaska. Unlike most other histories of mathematics now available, the emphasis is on the gradual emergence of "mathematics for all" programs and associated changes in thinking which drove this emergence. The book takes account of changing ideas about intended, implemented and attained mathematics curricula for learners of all ages. It also pays attention to the mathematics itself, and to how it was taught and learned.

Industry Reviews

"This book presents itself as a reinterpretation of the history of mathematics and its place in North America between 1607 and 1865, emphasizing two themes: mathematics for all and the role of the cyphering tradition. ... This work, which offers a synthetic view of mathematics education in North America and contains a lot of information, can provide a basis for those who are interested in the history of mathematical education ... . the bibliography is very important." (Pierre lamande, Mathematical Reviews, February, 2024)
