Analysing Historical Mathematics Textbooks

Focusing on the evolution of mathematics textbooks, the book examines their creation and production from Antiquity to Modern Times. It explores the dynamics between teachers' oral methods and printed texts, framed within the 'textbook triangle.' The introduction of the printing press significantly altered this relationship. The analysis includes national case studies from France, Germany, and Italy, highlighting the internationalization of textbooks through various transmission processes, providing a comprehensive view of educational practices in mathematics.
