SILVA, Everaldo Paulo da  and  SCHUBRING, Gert. CALCULUS IN MATHEMATICS: A SUBJECT FOR TEACHING IN GENERAL OR SPECIFICALLY IN TECHNICAL EDUCATION. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2016, vol.20, n.49, pp.65-80. ISSN 2236-3459 .  https://doi.org/10.1590/2236-3459/54093.

Our goal is to follow the path of Differential and Integral Calculus in General Education, secondary education, and Professional Education, technical education, in Brazil in a case study. To accomplish this task, we will make a historical overview of the twentieth century, taking as a starting point the International Conference on the Teaching of Mathematics in Paris in 1914, Brazilian legislation and the political and economic contexts that sometimes influenced either inclusion or exclusion of calculus of national programs, and also the Calculus trajectory in mathematics discipline of the Escola Técnica Federal de São Paulo until its transformation into the Centro Federal de Educação Tecnológica where the secondary education type became implemented for the first time.

Keywords : mathematics teaching; history of mathematics education; calculus in secondary school; history of calculus.
