Abstract
A group of mathematics educators, twenty from the United States and one from England,* visited mathematics education facilities in the Soviet Union (Moscow, Kiev, and Leningrad), from August 27 to September 9, 1966. The tour was sponsored by the NCTM under the supervision of the Committee on I nternational Mathematics Education, with some financial support from the National Science Foundation. The tour followed the conclusion of the International Congress of Mathematicians which was held in Moscow from August 16-26, 1966. The main purpose of the group was to visit persons and institutions which are involved in the education of the mathematically talented student. Two major topics on which members of the group focused during the tour were: (1) curriculum revision and research and (2) special schools and devices for stimulating interest in superior students.
