INTRODUCTION- MATHEMATICSASADISCIPLINE

AIMS OF MATHEMATICS AS A DISCIPLINE

1. To teach students the concepts basic to quantitative thinking

2. To develop students' ability to think logically

3. to inculcate such mental habits and attitudes

4. to train students in functional thinking, meaning thinking in termsof relationships

Other Aims

1. AESTETHIC- to develop appreciation of beauty in thegeometrical forms found in nature, art, and industry

2. INTELLECTUAL- to develop appreciation of logical structure,precision of statement and thought, and logical reasoning

3. ETHICAL- to develop appreciation of the power of mathematics
