In 1965 the School Mathematics Study Group (SMSG) released a calculus text. The writing team for this text considered the study of calculus to be in transition from college to the high school. The text was the team's thinking on what the course should be during the transition.

It is assumed that the geometey course refers to one that is commonly taught in the tenth school year. It is traditional Euclidean synthetic geometry, 2- and 3-space, modified by an introduction of ruler and protractor axioms into the usual synthetic axioms. A unit of coordinate geometry of the plane is usually appended. It is a course that is reflected in textbooks prepared by the School Mathematics Study Group and in most commercial textbooks.

In the spring of 1961, the School Mathematics Study Group convened a group of college mathematicians and high school teachers of mathematics to consider plans for writing an alternate high school geometry course, in which coordinates would be introduced and used as early as feasible.
