International Study Group on the relations between History and Pedagogy of Mathematics

Welcome

This is the website of the International Study Group on the relations between History and Pedagogy of Mathematics (HPM group). We are an affiliate of the International Committee on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI). 

By combining the history of mathematics with the teaching and learning of mathematics, HPM is the link between the past and the future of mathematics. Therefore, the group aims at stressing the conception of mathematics as a living science, a science with a long history, a vivid present and an as yet unforeseen future. 

Among members of the group are researchers in mathematics education, mathematicians, historians of mathematics, teachers of mathematics and curriculum developers.
