Focusing on the evolution of mathematics textbooks from Antiquity to Modern Times, this work examines the interplay between oral teaching methods and printed texts, conceptualized as the 'textbook triangle.' It explores how the advent of the printing press altered this dynamic. The book includes case studies from France, Germany, and Italy, highlighting the internationalization of mathematics education through the transmission of texts across cultures. It offers a comprehensive analysis of the historical and cultural influences on mathematical pedagogy.
