Abstract
The two "new math" texts which I am comparing in
this paper are, The School Mathematics study Group (SMSG)
high school geometry text, and the Ball State geometry text.
I should qualify the use of "comparing", for I am concerned
mainly with the foundations of the modern texts, their
historical bases, and the order of presentation of materials.
I do not intend, to make judgments on the more educational
aspect of which text has better introductions, better summaries
or review exercises. On the other hand, I have tried
to examine quite thoroughly the postulational foundations of
these two texts and their h1storical development.
