Abstract
Professor William Thurston (1946–2012), who
passed away in August of this year, was one of
that rare breed: a high level research mathemati-
cian who made worthy contributions to school
level mathematics education. His work in geom-
etry had an enormous influence on mathematics
at the research level (it won him a Fields Medal, in
1982); and his paper titled “Mathematical Educa-
tion” was studied very closely by the team (ap-
pointed by NCERT) that prepared the Mathematics
Position Paper of the National Curriculum Frame-
work 2005.
