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 age. It also pays attention to mathematics itself, and to how it was taught and learned.
