Preface
There can be no doubt that at the present time the improvement of science teaching is an essential task needing to be carried out by all
countries, in all branches and at all levels. Unesco is therefore acting in accordance with its mission in providing aid and suggesting directions
to be followed in some branches selected as being of particular importance: for instance, those where a notable change may be expected after a
fixed period of work, or those where international action appears at first more likely to produce satisfactory results than would national
effort.
To throw light on this problem, Unesco collaborated in the first place with the Inter-Union Commission on Science Teaching and arranged for the holding at Dakar, in 1964, of a congress on science teaching and economic development. The members of the congress examined in detail the relationship between the various sciences and agreed to recommend, as a priority measure, the preparation of a university syllabus of mathematics teaching to meet the needs of physicists. Modern mathematics should become a particularly effective tool for physicists, but a barrier of miscellaneous difficulties has hitherto prevented a large number of them from taking advantage of these new possibilities.
The International Commission for the Teaching of Mathematics and the International Commission for the Teaching of Physics (International Union of Pure and Applied Physics) helped Unesco in choosing a co-ordinator who would be at the same time a mathematician, a physicist and a specialist in questions relating to the teaching of these two disciplines at university level: in the event, Mr. EUE RouBINE, Professor at the Paris Faculty of Science. Unesco both wished and was able to call on experts from all parts of the world and the ten chapters of this book have been written in seven different countries. The authors were selected on account of their enthusiasm for the project, their personal reputation, and the weight and vitality of the school they represent.
The aims of the work, its get-up, its standard and the general unity sought, were gradually defined as the result of painstaking efforts, the
co-ordinator arranging for discussions, meetings and exchanges of views between the various authors. Considering the vast scope of its subject,
which concerns two of the most developed sciences, the book is fairly concise. It is intended for third-cycle students, that is for university students who already have a good grounding in mathematics and physics.
It may therefore be used by professors of physics, for brushing up or adding to their knowledge, modernizing their teaching or assisting them in their research.
Unesco is publishing this volume in its series "The Teaching of Basic Sciences" which already comprises A Survey of the Teaching of Physics at Universities, published in 1968, New Trends in Physics Teaching, Volume I, issued in 1968, and similar publications for mathematics, chemistry and biology.
Unesco wishes to express its gratitude to the three international commissions which have taken an active interest in this book, as well as to the co-ordinator and the authors. It should be mentioned here that the various contributions reflect solely the personal views of their authors.
