HPM is the International Study Group on the Relations between the 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. The HPM Study Group aims to investigate different conceptions and views of mathematics. Its members study different eras, mathematicians, regional and national mathematical schools, mathematical textbooks, and many other topics from the rich history of mathematics. They seek to connect the history of mathematics as a discipline, its roles in education, and the roles that it continues to have in developing mathematical instruction and the curricula around the globe.
Among the members of this group we find researchers in mathematics education, mathematicians, historians of mathematics, teachers of mathematics and curriculum developers.
The HPM Group has a chair appointed every four years, an advisory board of scholars and teachers from around the globe, and an executive board which works more closely with the group’s chair.
For more information on activities and publications please consult the HPM Newsletter, available on the HPM website. The newsletter co-editors are Janet Heine Barnett, Snezana Lawrence, Antonio M. Oller-Marcén, and Luis Puig. The newsletters are published online in March, July, and November every year.
Chair for 2024-2028 is Antonio M. Oller-Marcén, Spain.
