Abstract

Throughout the history, mathematics have long been developed hand in hand with the core of the human civilization. A great deal of remarkable achievements in scientific-technological civilization are based on the mathematic principles and theories. In spite of it's ever increasing influence especially in this knowledge-information oriented era, majority of the students still consider mathematics as one of the most difficult subjects and somewhat irrelevant from their daily life.

In this paper, some supplementary materials for the introduction and finishing part of each unit are suggested for students to understand not an academic aim but interest. They will make mathematic subject matter much more interesting to the students by helping them to link what they have learned to real situation.

In chapter 2, we will focus on the grasp of the original concept of the matrix and the significance of teaching the history of the mathematics subject beforehand. It will bring us to the following chapter 3, where we are introduced to the historical background knowledge about the mathematic through the interesting episodes of the great mathematicians. This is all about raising the students' awareness about the common sense of their subject area and arousing their interests as well. Finally in chapter 4, an issue of how to apply such historical teaching approaches to our classroom will be discussed.
