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.

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
2014, 14-18 July, Seventh ESU, Copenhagen, Denmark
2018, 20-24 July, Eighth ESU, Oslo, Norway (see
Meetings)

On the occasion of the 25th years of the group
John Fauvel and Florence Fasanelli planned to write a history of the HPM.
The final version of the text was prepared by Florence Fasanelli after John
has passed away in 2001, and has been published in the Proceedings of HPM 2004 & ESU 4: ICME 10 Satellite Meeting of the HPM
