The focus of this book is the fundamental influence of the
cyphering tradition on mathematics education in North American
colleges, schools, and apprenticeship training classes between 1607
and 1861. It is the first book on the history of North American
mathematics education to be written from that perspective. The
principal data source is a set of 207 handwritten cyphering books
that have never previously been subjected to careful historical
analysis.

This book presents a history of mathematic between 1607 and 1865 in
that part of mainland North America which is north of Mexico but
excludes the present-day Canada and Alaska. Unlike most other
histories of mathematics now available, the emphasis is on the
gradual emergence of "mathematics for all" programs and associated
changes in thinking which drove this emergence. The book takes
account of changing ideas about intended, implemented and attained
mathematics curricula for learners of all ages. It also pays
attention to the mathematics itself, and to how it was taught and
learned.Â
