Learning Mathematics Through History
Tuesday, December 2, 2008 16:53Many students think that our mathematics lessons as boring, and they describe matematikawan as a recluse who spent his life buried in big figures. one interesting way to make a living so that mathematics is by using articles to help history shows that mathematician is usual, have a weakness and excess. history of mathematics that is rich in interesting joke about the mathematician can be used to generate interest in students to learn mathematics in the classroom.
We can also introduce the leaders of mathematics to the disciples as a lesson in mathematics start. One of the leaders of mathematics that we often forget, or even many who do not know is Al-khawarizmi. He is Arabic Moslem mathematician who have contributed to the development of mathematics.
Currently, science, especially mathematics, countries follow to West (Europe and United States). We almost never hear a mathematician who came from east of the country (Muslim, Arab, Indian and Chinese). Stagnation actual science does not ever happen, that is going to centers of knowledge. History records that after the fall in Greece, appeared a new era of the triumph of the Islamic era in Arab lands. This result that the development of culture and science and is based on the domination by the Islamic-Arab. The caliph Harun al-Rasyid, the process occurs massive translation mathematics manuscript (and other knowledge) the ancient Greek nation into Arabic.
As many experts cited the history of mathematics, especially those written by Arab, Moslem contribution to the development of mathematics is limited to the activities of the ancient Greek translation of the script into the Arabic language. Many mathematician who did not show the large contribution of Muslims to the development of mathematics, either deliberately or because of the its knowledge.
One brilliant mathematic expert in the beginning is Al-khawarizmi. He was known as a pioneer in the field of algebra. Al-khawarizmi research is a major revolution in the world of mathematics, which connect the concepts of geometry from ancient Greek mathematics into the new concept. Research produced a theory that allows the combination of rational / irrational, geometry scales to be treated as “algebra objects”.
We know the history of mathematics, students are expected to be more interested in learning mathematics.
CONTRIBUTION
Gauss is a scientist in various fields: mathematics, physics, and astronomy. Field of analysis and geometry contribute to a lot of donations in mind Gauss mathematics. Calculus (including the limit) is one of the areas of analysis that is also his concern. he has to be seen as one of the largest throughout the period mathematics than Archimedes and Isaac Newton.
