Šimerka’s Czech Textbook of Calculus
Original language description
The paper is devoted to the beginning of calculus in the Czech secondary school. School mathematics had delay behind mathematics-science; it took two centuries for mathematical analysis to penetrate into it as a newly created mathematical discipline. Václav Šimerka for nine years he taught mathematics and physics at the grammar school. He was not allowed to continue in teaching because he fell into disgrace at the education authorities. From 1862 he worked as a pastor. In 1863, Šimerka published the grammar school textbook "Algebra or General Calculating for Higher Grammar Schools", whose supplement on calculus is the first Czech textbook of calculus for higher schools. Since at the time the calculus were not part of the curriculum of high school mathematics. The text "Supplement to Algebra for Higher Grammar Schools" was published separately in 1864. The main difference from today's textbooks, however, is that Šimerka viewed the basic concepts of differential and integral calculus, such as derivative and differential, intuitively, whereas derivation is not the basic term of differential calculus. Šimerka's textbook supports the belief that even deeper concepts of mathematical analysis can be presented in school mathematics in intuitive and accessible way, in line with historical developments.
