Concurrence of two mathematics worlds in the Netherlands, 1600 and beyond

Résumé

In the early 17th century at the University of Leiden, mathematics courses in the Liberal Arts and a mathematics course for surveyors and engineers in Dutch language existed peacefully next to each other, with some pathways between them. The reasons for this unique situation, the relation between the different mathematical courses and the characteristics of the Dutch language course are discussed. The design of the Dutch language course has some aspects in common with modern curricula. Two questions arise. Did this course influence the mathematics education in the next centuries? Was the Dutch language course a first step towards the development of mathematics as a school discipline? The second part of the paper attempts to find answers to these questions.
