“Mathematics is the indispensable instrument of all physical research.”

 

Education is imparted for achieving certain ends and goals. Knowledge of educational values helps the teacher to avoid aimlessness in teaching. Value is the springboard of aim and vice versa. There is nothing controversial about the two. A person may belong to the lowest or the highest class of society, but he utilizes knowledge of mathematics in one form or another. Not to speak of an engineer, a business, an industrialist, a banker, a financier, a finance minister, a planner or a boss of any concern, even a labourer has got to calculate his wages, make purchases from the market, and adjust the expenditure to his income.

 

History of mathematics reveals that whenever a society gave due weightage to the knowledge of mathematics, it made a tremendous progress. Mathematics helps in formation of social norms and their implementation. The dominance of materialistic outlook in our society is one of the chief attributes of mathematics.

AIMS OF TEACHING MATHEMATICS

 

We can prepare a long list of teachings mathematics. These aims pertain to the entire school stage. Apart from enabling the students to acquire essential mathematical knowledge, skills, interests and attitudes, the teaching of mathematics has to help them in many ways.

 

·        Utilitarian aim

 

Mathematics will be taught primarily for its practical values and aims. The students will be given mathematical knowledge and skills needed in his day to life and enabled to make use of that knowledge and skill. This aim makes the study of mathematics functional and purposeful and establishes relation between the subject and practical life

 

·        Disciplinary aim

 

The subject has also to be taught for its disciplinary and intellectual values. It has to aim at providing training to the mind of learner and developing intellectual habits in him.

 

·        Cultural aim

 

This aim helps the learner to understand the contribution of mathematics in the development of civilization and culture. It has enabled him to understand the role of mathematics in fine arts and in beautify human life.

 

·        Social aim

 

It is to help the learner to imbibe essential social virtues.

 

·        Moral aim

 

It enables the learners to imbibe the attributes of morality.

 

·        Aesthetic aim

 

It is to develop their aesthetic sensibilities, meet their varying interests and help them in the proper utilization of their leisure time.

             So, the aim of constructing this site is to give information related to mathematics and science to the learners. Also the new information will be collected from students and interested people.
