unapi

The paper describes F. Steindl s textbook Institutiones Arithmeticae [1778], the first official mathematics textbook of the Hungarian part of the Habsburg Empire after the reforms of the education system in the 1770s. The textbook includes a detailed description of reckoning methods and their practical applications, illustrated exclusively by problems in context. It also includes many instructions for the teacher, making it an early example of a mathematics textbook paying attention to pedagogy.
