Abstract
This chapter focuses on mathematical education. Every professional mathematician has a responsibility toward the advancement of his subject and the spread of mathematical knowledge. One is concerned with one aspect of education or another throughout his career. Many qualified men and women who are primarily occupied in noneducational work undertake part-time lecturing. The principal responsibility in this process clearly lies with those actively engaged in teaching, from the university professor down to the primary school teacher. They must be aware of the most efficient pedagogical techniques and at the same time absorb as much as they can of the increasing bulk of the mathematical literature. The chapter discusses mathematics courses, financial aid, and need for teachers. There is an undoubted shortage of mathematics teachers, and the position is being aggravated by the increasing opportunities for less qualified mathematicians in business and industry. More mathematics teachers are required not only to train potential mathematicians but also to provide adequate mathematical training for the other scientists and technologists whose services are in such great demand, especially physicists, chemists, and engineers.
