Abstract

2015 is the 200th anniversary of the death of the Asturian mathematician Agustín de Pedrayes y Foyo. We present his biographical semblance and its main contributions to Mathematics Education of the eighteenth century. We will show how a series of linked catastrophes led to the loss of his main works and researches, causing that despite being one of the most distinguished mathematicians of the eighteenth century, history has not echoed his achievements.
