"There is a great danger in the present day lest science-teaching [and mathematics education] should degenerate into the accumulation of disconnected facts and unexplained formulae, which burden the memory without cultivating the understanding."
--J. D. Everett [In the preface to his 1873 English translation of Elementary Treatise on Natural Philosophy by A Privat Deschanel. (D. Appleton and Co.)]
