The teaching and learning of mathematics have always been a major concern in education. The National Policy of Education (1986) lays down the importance of "mathematics" as a vehicle for developing creativity. - The teacher should use effective teaching methods of mathematics so that individualized discovery-oriented (or problem-solving) learning could be fostered.
| Galileo | - He was an Italian professor of mathematics.
- He believed that we can not understand the universe until and unless we become familiar with the characters in which it is written.
- He believed that the universe is written in mathematical language and the alphabets are circle, triangle, rectangle, and other geometrical figures.
- He quoted "Mathematics is the language in which God has written the universe".
| | Plato | - He was a Greek philosopher and mathematician.
- He believed that the exact knowledge can be acquired by proper reasoning that is through mathematics.
- He encouraged and inspired people to study mathematics.
| | Einstein | - He was a German-born physicist.
