Changes

Despite this view, New Math was developed in many different forms primarily by American Mathematicians.  The most notable of the organizations supporting the curricular change was the [[School Mathematics Study Group]] (SMSG), headed by Standford mathematician Edward G. Begle.  The SMSG was created by the [[National Science Foundation]] after the launch of the [[Sputnik]] artificial [[satellite]] in 1957.  Other notably organizations at the time were the Madison Project, headed by Robert Davis of the University of Illinois, the University of Illinois School Mathematics Project and the University of Maryland Mathematics Project.

Despite the view that the mathematics curricula of the United States changed radically at this time, the reforms were actually small and localized.<ref>Davis, Robert in <i>A History of Mathematics Education in the United States and Canada</i> Chapter 15</ref>
