HPM is the International Study Group on the
Relations between History and Pedagogy of Mathematics affiliated to the International
Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI).
By
combining the history of mathematics with the teaching and learning
of mathematics, HPM is the
link between the past and the future of mathematics. Therefore, the group aims
at stressing the
conception of mathematics as a living science, a science with a long history, a
vivid present and an as yet unforeseen future.
Among members of the group are researchers in mathematics education,
mathematicians, historians of mathematics, teachers of mathematics and curriculum
developers.
ACTIVITIES
ICME Satellite Meetings of
HPM
Among the activities of the HPM Group, there is the tradition of organizing conferences that are satellite meetings
to the International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME), organized
by ICMI every four years. We list below these meetings:
1984 ICME-5 (Adelaide, Australia),
satellite meeting in Adelaide
1988 ICME-6 (Budapest, Hungary), satellite
meeting in Florence (Italy)
1992 ICME-7 (Quebec, Canada), satellite meeting
in Toronto,(Canada)
1996 ICME-8 (Seville, Spain), satellite meeting in Braga (Portugal) conjointly with the 2nd European Summer University in History and
Epistemology in Mathematics Education
2000 ICME-9 (Tokyo-Makuhari, Japan),
satellite meeting in Taipei (Taiwan)
2004 ICME-10 (Copenhagen, Denmark),
satellite meeting in Uppsala (Sweden) conjointly with the 4th European Summer University in History and
Epistemology in Mathematics Education
2008 ICME-11 (Monterrey, Mexico),
satellite meeting in Mexico City (Mexico)
The following volumes

Future volume: A volume
aiming to constitute an all-embracing outcome of recent activities within the
HPM Study Group is going to be published:

European Summer University on the History and Epistemology in
Mathematics Education
Another major international activity of the HPM
Group is the organization of the European Summer University on the History
and Epistemology in Mathematics Education (ESU).
The initiative of organizing such a Summer University belongs to the
French Mathematics Education community of the IREMs, in the early 1980’s. From those
meetings emerged the organization of a SU on a European scale.
We list below these ES:
1993,
19-23 July, First ESU, Montpellier, France
1996,
24-30 July,
Second ESU, Braga, Portugal (conjointly with the ICME-8 Satellite Meeting
of HPM)
1999, 15-21 July,
Third ESU, Leuven & Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium
2004, 12-17 July,
Fourth ESU, Uppsala, Sweden (conjointly with the ICME-10 Satellite
Meeting of HPM)
2007, 19-24 July, Fifth ESU, Prague, Czech Republic
2010, 19-23 July, Sixth ESU, Vienna, Austria
More
information on the last ESU can be found in the
First
Announcement and the Second
Announcement
and in its website http://www.algebra.tuwien.ac.at/esu6
which will be regularly updated.
The following volumes
were published after the previous ESU:
