Abstract
The following is intended as an analysis of a specific conceptual change in mathematics during the early 19th century. From this some pedagogical conclusions are drawn. Analyzing a special example seems to be a more appropriate way of handling the relevance of historical and philosophical considerations for mathematical education than dealing with this question in general terms. My example refers to the fact that at the turn of the 19th century one began to distinguish more systematically between numbers and quantities than had been done before. The program of arithmetizing mathematics arose. Certainly this process had various causes. In the following I concentrate on one of these, namely, the relations of mathematics to experimental sciences.
