| Abstract: | The Ordo servundum in addiscendis disciplinis mathematicis is a milestone in the history of the teaching of mathematics. Conceived by Christoph Clavius for the Jesuit Colleges, it
was not only a syllabus for mathematical studies for the students at Jesuit colleges but also an instrument for training mathematics
teachers. Its coherence and its skilful, innovative, modular format have made it a masterpiece of pedagogic technique. This
marks the end of a long and arduous journey throughout which Clavius’ patient and persistent persuasion convinced the Company
that mathematics should be an integral part of the syllabus in Jesuit colleges. |
