The Contribution of the Spanish Mathematical Society to Mathematics Education during the First Twenty Years to the Foundation

On the recent celebration of the foundation centennial of the Spanish Mathematical Society, created in 1911, we analyze in the paper if this matter had repercussions in Spanish mathematics education. With this goal in mind, we consulted the journal founded because of this birth: the Revista de la Sociedad Matemática Española, and the Revista Matemática Hispano-Americana, its successor. On the study of these publications and other sources, we concluded that, indeed, the birth of Spanish Mathematical Society gave an impetus to mathematics education in Spain, although their effects would not be appreciated until a few years later.
