"On Teaching Mathematics, text of a talk espousing Arnold's opinions on mathematical instruction"

“In the last 30 years, the prestige of mathematics has declined in all countries. I think that mathematicians are partially to be blamed as well—foremost, Hilbert and Bourbaki—the ones who proclaimed that the goal of their science was investigation of all corollaries of arbitrary systems of axioms.”

“Problems from 5 to 15, a text by Arnold for school students, available at the IMAGINARY platform”

“In the middle of the twentieth century it was attempted to divide physics and mathematics. The consequences turned out to be catastrophic. Whole generations of mathematicians grew up without knowing half of their science and, of course, in total ignorance of any other sciences. They first began teaching their ugly scholastic pseudo-mathematics to their students, then to schoolchildren .”

“In almost all textbooks, even the best, this principle is presented so that it is impossible to understand." . I have not chosen to break with tradition.”
