The Historical Shaping of the Foundations of Mathematics
Robert Brabenec
1977

This paper introduces the beginnings of ACMS and the motivation for its biennial conferences.  It provides a broad historical overview of calculus and geometry.  It also sketches issues in 5 areas – truth, axiomatics, the proliferation of new developments, number, infinity – in which ACMS has a stake.  While Dr. Brabenec’s thinking on these issues has grown considerably since this article was written, it is posted as presented in 1977 because of its historical importance.
