Extract

It is a great pleasure to welcome the Mathematical Association to Cambridge, which since Newton has always been one of the most important homes of mathematics in this country. Cambridge is a traditional home of advanced and research mathematics, and it therefore gives me particular pleasure to have the honour of giving my Presidential Address to the Association in Cambridge on the topic of primary mathematics the foundation and growing point of the ‘mathematics for all’ on which our increasingly scientific and technological culture makes greater and greater demands.
