Abstract

We who are teachers of mathematics are proud. Our ancestors in the profession include some of the greatest teachers in history. We are direct descendents of Pythagoras, Euclid, and the great teachers of Plato's Academy. The students we and our forebears have trained have made history; they have assisted in the development of methods and devices that have been responsible for the high level to which man has attained.
