Abstract
The place of mathematics in general education was discussed at least as long ago as some 2500 years, when the Pythagoreans established the quadrivium of arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, and music, subjects which were to be considered the heart of a liberal education for many centuries. That the subject is still being discussed today can be readily verified by consulting almost any recent issue of The Mathematics Teacher. The Eleventh and Fifteenth Yearbooks of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics contain much valuable information on the subject under discussion, and I heartily recommend them to any teacher of mathematics who has not yet read them.
