The Outlook for Mathematics Education.

Several important articles on the subject of mathematics education in the school have appeared in our periodical press during the past year. Outstanding among them were the articles by A. N. Kolmogorov and A. I. Markushevich, as well as the project outlining the mathematical knowledge to be imparted in the eight-year school, elaborated by the Commission on Mathematics Education of the Division of Mathematics of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. These papers elucidate major aspects of mathematics education and deserve careful discussion. The present article is directly related to the papers listed at the end of this article.
