«Matemática em Portugal: Uma Questão de Educação» is the essay by Jorge Buescu, published in 2012 by Fundação Francisco Manuel dos Santos in paperback.
The essay investigates why Portugal has not produced any first-rate mathematician and argues that the reason is not circumstantial but educational. It reviews three key moments in Portuguese mathematics, debunks clichés, and links the country's scientific irrelevance to the weakness of science teaching compared with other nations.
Volume 27 of the «Ensaios da Fundação» collection. Text in Portuguese; 104 pages.
For readers interested in the history of science in Portugal and the role of education in scientific production.
