History of Teaching Calculus

The history of teaching Calculus is recent. Still, shortly after the creation of Calculus by Newton and Leibniz, it was taught at the university level and at the secondary level. This chapter will mainly focus on the European history of Calculus teaching, including notices about the United States and Brazil. It will document some major approaches, suggestions, debates, and changes in this history since the eighteenth century to the relatively recent past, emphasizing key international movements and studies and simultaneously making use of these studies. Important sources for future research including the most influential Calculus textbooks will also be listed.
