ABSTRACT / INHALTSTEXT
THIS WELL-ILLUSTRATED BOOK, BY TWO ESTABLISHED HISTORIANS OF SCHOOL
MATHEMATICS, DOCUMENTS THOMAS JEFFERSON’S QUEST, AFTER 1775, TO
INTRODUCE A FORM OF DECIMAL CURRENCY TO THE FLEDGLING UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA. THE BOOK DESCRIBES A REMARKABLE STUDY SHOWING HOW THE UNITED
STATES’ DECISION TO ADOPT A FULLY DECIMALIZED, CAREFULLY CONCEIVED
NATIONAL CURRENCY ULTIMATELY HAD A PROFOUND EFFECT ON U.S. SCHOOL
MATHEMATICS CURRICULA. THE BOOK SHOWS, BY ANALYZING A LARGE SET OF
ARITHMETIC TEXTBOOKS AND AN EVEN LARGER SET OF HANDWRITTEN CYPHERING
BOOKS, THAT ALTHOUGH MOST EIGHTEENTH- AND NINETEENTH-CENTURY AUTHORS OF
ARITHMETIC TEXTBOOKS INCLUDED SECTIONS ON VULGAR AND DECIMAL FRACTIONS,
MOST SCHOOL STUDENTS WHO PREPARED CYPHERING BOOKS DID NOT STUDY EITHER
VULGAR OR DECIMAL FRACTIONS. IN OTHER WORDS, AUTHOR-INTENDED SCHOOL
ARITHMETIC CURRICULA WERE NOT MATCHED BY TEACHER-IMPLEMENTED SCHOOL
ARITHMETIC CURRICULA. AMAZINGLY, THAT STATE OF AFFAIRS CONTINUED EVEN
AFTER THE U.S.MINT BEGAN MINTING DOLLARS, CENTS AND DIMES IN THE 1790S.
IN U.S. SCHOOLS BETWEEN 1775 AND 1810 IT WAS OFTEN THE CASE THAT FEDERAL
MONEY WAS STUDIED BUT DECIMAL FRACTIONS WERE NOT. THAT GRADUALLY CHANGED
DURING THE FIRST CENTURY OF THE FORMAL EXISTENCE OF THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA. BY CONTRAST, CHAPTER 6 REPORTS A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF DATA
SHOWING THAT IN GREAT BRITAIN ONLY A MINORITY OF EIGHTEENTH- AND
NINETEENTH-CENTURY SCHOOL STUDENTS STUDIED DECIMAL FRACTIONS. CLEMENTS
AND ELLERTON ARGUE THAT JEFFERSON’S SUCCESS IN ESTABLISHING A SYSTEM
OF DECIMALIZED FEDERAL MONEY HAD EDUCATIONALLY SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS ON
IMPLEMENTED SCHOOL ARITHMETIC CURRICULA IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
THE LENS THROUGH WHICH CLEMENTS AND ELLERTON HAVE ANALYZED THEIR LARGE
DATA SETS HAS BEEN THE LAG-TIME THEORETICAL POSITION WHICH THEY HAVE
DEVELOPED.THAT THEORY POSITS THAT THE TIME BETWEEN WHEN AN IMPORTANT
MATHEMATICAL “DISCOVERY” IS MADE (OR A CONCEPT IS “CREATED”) AND
WHEN THAT DISCOVERY (OR CONCEPT) BECOMES AN IMPORTANT PART OF SCHOOL
MATHEMATICS IS DEPENDENT ON MATHEMATICAL, SOCIAL, POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC
FACTORS. THUS, LAG TIME VARIES FROM REGION TO REGION, AND FROM NATION TO
NATION. CLEMENTS AND ELLERTON ARE THE FIRST TO IDENTIFY THE YEARS AFTER
1775 AS THE DAWN OF A NEW DAY IN U.S. SCHOOL
MATHEMATICS—TRADITIONALLY, HISTORIANS HAVE ARGUED THAT NOTHING IN U.S.
SCHOOL MATHEMATICS WAS WORTHY OF SERIOUS STUDY UNTIL THE 1820S. THIS
BOOK EMPHASIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF THE ACCEPTANCE OF DECIMAL CURRENCY SO
FAR AS SCHOOL MATHEMATICS IS CONCERNED. IT ALSO DRAWS ATTENTION TO THE
CONSEQUENCES FOR SCHOOL MATHEMATICS OF THE CONSCIOUS DECISION OF THE
U.S. CONGRESS NOT TO PROCEED WITH THOMAS JEFFERSON’S GRAND SCHEME FOR
A SYSTEM OF DECIMALIZED WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.
