Some men who intended to speak in the discussion were told by me in July that the Committee of Section L had arranged for it to take place on Monday, the 16th of September, But it was found that a change of date was imperative, and it was finally settled on the 13th that the discussion would take place next day, so that I had no opportunity of communicating with intending speakers who had not yet arrived in Glasgow.
The proceedings began with my address. A few copies of proofs of a small portion of the address reached me on the previous day, and although I was able to distribute complete copies just when they arrived from London before the beginning of the meeting, the speakers cannot be said to have had a fair opportunity of studying the address or the syllabus. The proofs were uncorrected by me. I read hurriedly, skipping much, and did I not read the syllabus. The address was written in scraps during my holidays, and there had been no time to get it into a finished shape. I have no right now to correct even obvious verbal errors, as some of the remarks of some of the speakers refer to these errors.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book proposes a reform to the way mathematics is taught to young children, one that would make the subject significantly less abstract and more applicable to their daily lives. The author, an expert in science and engineering, argues that the current teaching methods, which heavily emphasize abstract reasoning, are not only ineffective for most students but also damaging to their overall intellectual development. They cause students to lose interest in the subject and to develop a negative attitude towards it. The author's proposed reform would focus on teaching mathematics through practical, hands-on activities that demonstrate the subject's usefulness. This approach would show students how mathematics can be applied to solve real-world problems, making it more engaging and relevant to them. The author believes that this method would be more effective for all students, regardless of their natural ability in mathematics, and would provide them with a stronger foundation for future learning.
