Guiding ideology:

As a useful supplement to classroom teaching, this course is conducive to developing students' specialties, broadening their horizons, broadening their knowledge, improving their intelligence and ability, and promoting their all-round development. Let students use it in learning, thinking and enjoying, let talented students have a place to show themselves, and let them experience the fun of learning mathematics and apply what they have learned.

Course objectives:

1, this course requires students to participate in the process of knowledge generation and development through various forms of autonomous learning activities, so that students can think freely, discuss on an equal footing and imagine boldly in a harmonious atmosphere, improve their self-confidence, enable all students to achieve different degrees of success, and enable students at different levels to achieve different development.

2. Through the study of this course, students can understand the development of mathematics in a certain period and have a simple understanding of the formation of mathematical knowledge framework.

3. Integrate mathematics knowledge into the activities around interesting words in the classroom, so that students can improve their observation ability, analysis ability and logical reasoning ability in the process of curiosity and pursuit of answers, and strive to embody doing mathematics, playing mathematics and learning mathematics, thus improving students' quality, stimulating students' enthusiasm for learning, and making students truly realize the great value of mathematics.

The benefits of learning mathematics

People who are good at math are relatively smart and savvy, and they can show their advantages in dealing with people. The faster you think, the more ways and ideas you have. Cambridge, majoring in financial mathematics at Carnegie Mellon University in the United States, said that studying mathematics has brought her mental exercise and made me pay more attention to the rigor of thinking in my life.

For example, before solving a problem, I like to divide it into several sections, and each section is divided into several steps, so that I can dig slowly like a branch instead of thinking in confusion in front of a pile of data. Mathematics is the foundation of other disciplines, and it is easier for people who learn mathematics well to get into other disciplines. Learning software, computer, finance and other engineering majors is even more handy.

Can manage money better than others. The application of mathematics in life is everywhere. Nowadays, the society is already an information society, and mathematical knowledge is used in financial management and computers. Warren Buffett is very powerful, but Buffett's power is also based on mathematics. Buffett's decision-making process is actually the method of using subjective probability.
