520 1 $a"This volume gives us insight into the forces that have shaped the teaching of geometry in American public schools since the mid-nineteenth century. Professor Sinclair, by looking at landmark textbooks, policy documents, and opinions and arguments from members of the mathematics community across this period, presents a picture of the competing ideas shaping the way geometry has been taught."--BOOK JACKET.
