Today's headlines are filled with reports of illiteracy, innumeracy, and
other signs of educational decay. Tomorrow's schools can be filled with
evidence of renaissance if we begin now to till the soil for effective
education—in mathematics, in science, and in all subjects. This vol-
ume offers five visions of mathematics suitable for tomorrow's schools—
visions rooted in imagination, in mathematics, and in science. Ideas in
this volume can provide fertile soil for new approaches to tomorrow's
numerary.
Forces created by computers, applications, demographics, and schools
themselves are changing profoundly the way mathematics is practiced,
the way it is taught, and the way it is learned. Even as we work to make
incremental change in today's schools, we must think also about more
significant change that will be possible, indeed inevitable, in the future.
For this reason the Mathematical Sciences Education Board (MSEB)
decided that one of today's priorities is to stimulate imaginative thinking
about tomorrow's curriculum.
In this volume readers will find a vision of the richness of mathe-
matics expressed through five vignettes that illustrate different possible
strands of school mathematics. These papers expand on the theme of
mathematics as the language and science of patterns and are introduced
by a brief essay that highlights interconnections and common ideas. The
authors were asked to explore ideas with deep roots in the mathematical
sciences without concern for limitations of present schools or curricula.
They do, however, suggest through numerous imaginative examples how
