The mathematical topics which are of use to geography students are outlined, as are the methods used for teaching mathematical techniques in geography courses at Leeds over the last few years. The concluding section relates practice to goals, and the problems of providing the Student with a framework into which he can fit all the pieces of knowledge he has acquired. Possible future developments are reviewed briefly in the light of the development of new mathematical techniques on the one hand, and criticisms of the existing State of the art on the other. The subject matter of the paper is limited to mathematical education, and there is only indirect and brief concern with statistics. © 1978, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. All rights reserved
