There arc certain types of binary relations which are of eminent importance for all parts of mathematics, including the elementary mathematics of secondary school. These are: order relations, equivalencerelations and functions. Pupils meet them at every stage of the curriculum.

SINCE 1950 every young hopeful future mathematician in a secondary school in Czechoslovakia, or even in elementary school, looks forward to the various rounds of the annual mathematical olympiad. He has hopes for valuable prizes (mostly books on mathematics)- but even more to the sheer glory of recognition (in the form of certificates) on a local, regional, or national level. If he is in the last year of a secondary school, he may even reach the International Olympiad conducted annually (since 1959) by the East European countries.

In Great Britain there are two associations, each publishing its own journal, that are dedicated solely to the teaching of mathematics at the secondary school level. In this issue we report on one of these associations and its publications; the other association will be reported on in a subsequent issue.

Danish School

In 1958, the structure of the Danish school system was changed, and in connection with this the curricula for each subject at all school levels were revised. This provided an opportunity to create a mathematics curriculum which reflects the trends reported in recent international discussions on the problem of modernization of mathematics teaching. This newly created curriculum is now being used in grades 8 to 11, and next year will go into operation in grade 12, the last secondary school year.

The Subject

The few remarks that I propose to make on this subject will hardly deserve the title of a “paper.” You are doubtless aware of the existence of the International Commission on Mathematical Education. The Commission owes its origin to the distinguished American mathematician, Professor D. E. Smith. At the International Mathematical Congress at Rome three years ago Professor Smith proposed that a “commission” be formed to enquire into questions of teaching, this Commission to report to the next meeting of the Congress, at Cambridge, on August 22-28, 1912. There have been intermediate meetings on the teaching part of the subject, and one meeting was held last September at Milan. It was not a general meeting, being attended mainly by official delegates from different countries. I had the honour of being present there, and it may perhaps interest you if I describe very briefly the matters that were under discussion.

Secondary School Pupils

How times have changed! A number of years ago, the educator who espoused the cause of increased mathematical study for secondary school pupils would have been tolerated in some quarters, considered eccentric in others, but would have been ignored completely or not too quietly ridiculed in most educational circles. Now, not only are schoolmen deeply interested in the extension of mathematical education, but their concern is not limited to related mathematics or to social mathematics. It has been rediscovered that there is a place in the high school curriculum for the traditional sequential courses in mathematics, a place of importance in the world of tomorrow.

The First International Congress on Mathematical Education is now history. It was held in Lyon, France, August 24-30, 1969. Approximately 700 mathematics educators from 37 countries participated in this event. The United States was well represented, having approximately 100 participants. Only France, the host country, had a larger representation.

Opening Paragraph

When reading the article you will understand that the opening paragraph must be viewed against the background of the author's relation to his own government. The rest of the article is highly informative, enabling us to compare what has happened in Russia with what bas happened in the United States of America.—Howard F. Febr.
