Abstract
In Austria, in the first decade of the 20th century, a
reform in school curricula gave the opportunity to introduce the
first elements of differential and integral calculus in the secondary
school teaching. In some Italian speaking secondary schools of
Trieste, a city which at that time belonged to the Habsburg Empire,
these subjects were introduced in the teaching programmes.
At the end of the First World War Trieste was annexed to the
Kingdom of Italy. In our research we examine an example of the
didactic methodologies used in Trieste before the First World War
to teach these subjects and describe briefly the situation which occurred
there in the period of transition from the regulations of the
Habsburg Empire to those of the Kingdom of Italy.
