Some Proposals for the Educational Method of Fundamental Mathematics and Making Teaching Handouts for It

Abstract

We have made some proposals for the educational method of fundamental mathematics in the college of technology. One aim of the present paper is to state these proposals. In order to give lessons of fundamental mathematics by our own method, it is desirable for the students to be given the textbooks for the method. Moreover, we think that the textbooks on the market are insufficient in some respects to counter the problems in the mathematics education in the college of technology. We want textbooks to contain detailed explanation, a lot of examples, and suitable problems, so that a student can study by himself to some degree. For these reasons, we have been making the teaching handouts for the students in the lower classes of the college of technology. The other aim of the present paper is to report on these teaching handouts.
