HPM 2008
History and Pedagogy of Mathematics
The HPM Satellite Meeting of ICME 11

14-18 July 2008, Mexico City

Aim and focus
The HPM 2008 is the seventh quadrennial meeting 
of the International Study Group on the Relations 
between the History and Pedagogy of Mathematics 
(the HPM Group), affiliated to ICMI. It is a 
satellite meeting of the corresponding ICME 
(International Congress on Mathematical 
Education) and is scheduled close to ICME. These 
quadrennial meetings, are a major activity of 
HPM, to bring together those who are interested 
on the relation between the history of 
mathematics and mathematics education such as:
· Researchers in mathematics education, and its 
relation to the history of mathematics;
· Mathematics teachers at all levels who are 
eager to get insights on how the history of 
mathematics may be integrated into teaching and 
help students to learn mathematics;
· Historians of mathematics, who wish to talk about their research;
· Mathematicians, who want to learn about new 
possibilities to teach their discipline;
· All those with an interest in the history of mathematics and pedagogy.

Main themes
The HPM 2008 is a place where mathematicians, 
educators, historians, researchers and students, 
can make presentations and participate in 
discussions. The programme and activities are 
structured around the following main themes:
1. Integrating the History of Mathematics in Mathematics Education.
2. Topics in the History of Mathematics Education.
3. Mathematics and its relation to science, 
technology and the arts: historical issues and educational implications.
4. Cultures and Mathematics.
5. Historical, philosophical and epistemological 
issues in Mathematics Education.

Activities during HPM2008
During the HPM 2008 there will be
· one-hour  plenary lectures on each of the five main themes
· two one-hour panel discussions.
· parallel sessions of 25-minute oral 
presentations, followed by 5-minute discussions.

Time and place
HPM 2008 will be held from Monday 14 July to 
Friday 18 July 2008 in Mexico City.
Sessions will be held on Monday, Tuesday, 
Thursday and Friday with a mathematical tour on Wednesday.

The web site
Making known the HPM 2008 in various countries is 
a major task to be realized by the SPC. To this 
end, a web site will be available shortly at 
<http://www.red-cimates.org.mx/HPM2008.htm>http://www.red-cimates.org.mx/HPM2008.htm 
This is going to be a very efficient tool to make 
known the HPM 2008 worldwide, to allow for online registration etc.

Proceedings
Publishing the Proceedings of HPM 2008 is also a major task.
More details on the size of the texts, the format 
guidelines will be announced in due course from the HPM 2008 and HPM websites
