Overview

The aim of the course is to introduce students to the origins of mathematics and its various applications such as algebra and geometry. It also aims to introduce students to the achievements of Arab scientists in this field, and to develop students’ capabilities to absorb and understand the stages of development that mathematics has gone through, such as the development of numbers and arithmetic operations. The course aims to introduce the student to how to develop analytical geometry and develop calculus, and the number of Arab translators and their contribution to the transfer of mathematics sciences from and to through ancient civilizations. There are some questions the course aims to answer, namely: Did previous civilizations need mathematics? How did this science arise? What is the history of numbers and mathematical operations across civilizations? Who invented zero? How do you branch out mathematics into its main branches?

Intended learning outcomes

Statement of Arab contributions and credit to them in modern mathematics, linking modern and ancient mathematics, knowing the difference between the standards of primitive and advanced arithmetic operations, explaining the history of theories, discovering and purifying them in the current form, defining the concept of new categories of numbers, stating the vision of the social constructivist theory in its interpretation of the methods of learning mathematics Al-Haditha, simulating the contributions of Arab scholars in an interesting presentation of some concepts in an innovative way, benefiting from the experience of scholars to build a variety of new ideas

Teaching and learning methods

Lectures, panel discussion, research, and surprise questions.
