300 YEARS OF MATHEMATICAL EDUCATION IN RUSSIA
The professional mathematical education began in Russia in 1701 when Peter
the First decreed the foundation of the School of Mathematical and
Navigational sciences which was working in Suhareva Tower. Mathematics in
this school was taught by L.F.Magnitsky, the first professional teacher of
mathematics and the author of the first Russian manual of mathematics.
In connection with the anniversary some arrangements are projected to
carry out:
Internet Conference which will help many people to find each other;
some editions timed to the anniversary;
meeting of the former pupils of physico-mathematical schools in
Moscow.
