After giving a general framework for the situation of mathematics education in the UK, the editors of this book present a collection of six major chapters dealing with the relations of mathematics learning and social values, employment requirements, reforms on the national curricula, the international context, the learning problems in each level from primary school to universities, etc. The authors involved in these descriptive chapters are J. Bynner, S. Parsons, P.J. Dolton, A.F. Vignoles, R. Sutherland, A. Wolf, J. Ainley, C. Hoyles and R. Noss. While the book has a UK perspective it may be of interest to a wide audience interested in the problems of linking school mathematics with the social consideration and use of this knowledge. As the title promises, demands, deficits and remedies are reviewed and studied.
