The International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME) is the most important forum for exchanges of scientific information among scholars in mathematics education. The Sixth ICME will be held on July 17 - August 3, 1988 in Budapest, Hungary. Given the current crises in mathematics education, it is essential that the United States be well represented by key mathematics educators and that information about the Congress be widely disseminated among our nation's mathematics educators and educational leaders. The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), with the support of the Mathematical Association of America (MAA), will select 40 delegates to ICME-6 whose travel will be partially subsidized and who will submit a written summary of the Congress activities. Those reports along with invited papers by selected individuals will serve as a basis for a monograph on Congress activities that will be published by NCTM. Articles will be prepared by the Awards Committee to be submitted for publication in NCTM and MAA newsletters and journals with a combined circulation of nearly 70,000. Presentations on Congress proceeding will be arranged at various NCTM meetings. The necessity to gain mathematics education on a global basis cannot be too strongly emphasized. Problems in education appear to be more universal than previously thought. The sharing of solutions among nations is vital if we are to develop the most effective cures in mathematics education. Attendance at this Congress by mathematics educators from the United States and subsequent publications will provide invaluable information to those persons concerned with the current state of education in mathematics, an area of significance in future political and economic areas.

国际数学教育大会(ICME)是数学教育学者之间交流科学信息的最重要论坛。第六届ICME将于1988年7月17日至8月3日在匈牙利布达佩斯举行。鉴于目前数学教育中的危机，关键的数学教育者必须充分代表美国，并在我国的数学教育者和教育领袖中广泛传播有关大会的信息。全国数学教师理事会(NCTM)在美国数学协会(MAA)的支持下，将选出40名参加ICME-6会议的代表，他们的旅费将得到部分补贴，并将提交大会活动的书面摘要。这些报告以及选定个人的受邀论文将作为NCTM将出版的关于大会活动的专著的基础。论文将由颁奖委员会编写，提交在NCTM和MAA通讯和期刊上发表，总发行量近7万份。将在NCTM的各种会议上安排关于大会程序的陈述。在全球范围内接受数学教育的必要性怎么强调都不为过。教育中的问题似乎比之前认为的更普遍。如果我们要在数学教育中开发出最有效的治疗方法，各国之间的解决方案共享至关重要。来自美国的数学教育工作者出席这次大会以及随后出版的出版物将为那些关心数学教育现状的人提供宝贵的信息，这是一个在未来政治和经济领域具有重要意义的领域。
