Samuel Pepys, Isaac Newton, James Hodgson, and the beginnings of secondary school mathematics : a history of the Royal Mathematical School within Christ's Hospital, London 1673-1868 /Nerida F. Ellerton, M.A. (Ken) Clements ; foreword by Benjamin Wardhaugh. "This book tells one of the greatest stories in the history of school mathematics. Two of the names in the title--Samuel Pepys and Isaac Newton--need no introduction, and this book draws attention to their special contributions to the history of school mathematics. According to Ellerton and Clements, during the last quarter of the seventeenth century Pepys and Newton were key players in defining what school mathematics beyond arithmetic and elementary geometry might look like. The scene at which most of the action occurred was Christ's Hospital, which was a school, ostensibly for the poor, in central London. The Royal Mathematical School (RMS) was established at Christ's Hospital in 1673. It was the less well-known James Hodgson, a fine mathematician and RMS master between 1709 and 1755, who demonstrated that topics such as logarithms, plane and spherical trigonometry, and the application of these to navigation, might systematically and successfully be taught to 12- to 16-year-old school children. From a wider history-of-school-education perspective, this book tells how the world's first secondary-school mathematics program was created and how, slowly but surely, what was being achieved at RMS began to influence school mathematics in other parts of Great Britain, Europe, and America."-Provided by the publisher 2017 • BOOK • 1 copy available. 355.231.41
