Never before has a book on American mathematics teaching been so noted that the author claims that due to the over-arching pursuit of fascinating scientific research over the years, mathematics education in the United States is showing a pathological condition that has also forced most of the most comprehensive universities Of the students in this book, the author put forward his diagnosis of the disease, the etiology of the analysis and treatment of prescriptions, the contents of the book almost involved and offended this century in any type of school In mathematics once taught everyone.
