Abstract

There is an attractive fact that in all historical periods the texts of school mathematical problems with real content usually provide some partial information about their time. We pay particular attention to the cultural and social conditions of people´s lives. This article discusses the reflection of those life conditions in the tasks in Czech mathematical textbooks in the period of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
