Synopsis
Excerpt from The Place of the Elementary Calculus in the Senior High-School Mathematics: And Suggestions for a Modern Presentation of the Subject
Even a little less than a decade ago, the trained teacher of high school mathematics had the pleasure of teaching real mathematics as found in such subjects as trigonometry, solid and plane geometry, and advanced and elementary algebra. It is doubtless true that this kind of work was inclining too much toward formalism and that the needs of the learner were not being given sufficient attention. The strong reaction against formalism in general in education during the decade just past made the position of any genuine mathematics in our high schools very precarious. This threatened elimination of all real mathematics in our high schools was viewed with regret by those of us who had had the pleasure of starting many a pupil with a vigorous mind upon his mathematical way; and a number of prom inent educators who are especially interested in the teaching of mathematics have been working toward a readjustment of the mathematics curriculum so that it will fit into and fulfill its mission in the changed conditions as found in our schools to-day.
The following study is the author's contribution toward this attempted readjustment. The kind of mathematics that should be taught in the first six school years has been definitely settled; the main points of the work in mathematics that should be included in the junior high-school period have been agreed upon; and the author hopes that his study will be of some value in helping us to formulate the content of the mathematics curriculum of the senior high school.
