The Quadrivium is a project dedicated to the reform of mathematics education and curriculum. We believe that the mathematics curriculum must reconnect to its origins in science and the arts.

The Quadrivium is a modern reinvention of the medieval quadrivium: the upper four liberal arts of geometry, astronomy, arithmetic, and music.
