Objectives of the Course

M.O. To give the historical development of mathematics since 50 000 years. Students should have an idea about the historical development of mathematics starting from Chinese and Babylonian mathematics, realize how mathematics born out of daily needs has gained a formal structure in historical development, emphasize the multicultural structure of mathematics by emphasizing the features that distinguish eastern and western mathematics from each other. It is aimed to gain an insight into the origins of mathematical concepts that we use today. In addition, it is aimed for students to realize the potential of the history of mathematics for teaching mathematics and to realize the role of mathematics in the development of our civilization today.
