Abstract
One of the fundamental ideas of modern education is the idea of spiral curriculum, when students repeatedly revisit the same sequence of topics at the increasing levels of depth, detail, and sophistication. In this chapter, we show that under reasonable assumptions, the optimal sequence of presenting the material should indeed follow a spiral pattern.
