| Mathematical education and society (an outlook from Russia and into Russia) |
| I. F. Sharygin |
Abstract The author gives surprising examples of mathematical ignorance of modern society. One can say that people nowadays not only are ignorant of or do not understand elementary mathematical concepts but that they are afraid of mathematics. Mathematicians are not last who should be blamed for this. Among other problems that impede the development of mathematics education, the author singles out the following three: Americanisation, dollarisation and computerization.
