1, enliven the classroom teaching atmosphere and stimulate students' interest in learning mathematics: in mathematics teaching, properly interspersed with knowledge of mathematics history is an effective means to stimulate students' interest in learning mathematics. In the teaching process, according to the subject content, some brief historical knowledge may be inserted appropriately, which may attract students' attention.

2. Cultivate students' innovative spirit: The ancients said that "reading history can lead to wisdom", and "wisdom" means inspiring and developing intelligence. Mathematics is the crystallization of the high development of human rational civilization, showing great creativity. In mathematics teaching, telling history can enhance the vividness and interest of mathematics teaching and cultivate students' scientific spirit, which has been recognized and valued by all mathematics teachers.

3. The history of mathematics development is a history of constant innovation. Generations of mathematicians are not confined to the established and ingrained views, put forward cross-examination, and use creative thinking to break away from the shackles of the old frame, leading to leap again and again. The emergence and solution of the crisis in the history of mathematics embodies the spirit of generations of mathematicians who dare to use creative thinking to break away from the shackles of the old frame and constantly explore for the pursuit of truth.
