After completing readings about mathematicians throughout history, the class would discuss interesting aspects on unknown or misunderstood concepts and even requested additional information on related topics. Gulikers and blom (2001) suggested, “history of mathematics can be applied in educational situations to bring dynamics into mathematics teaching and create a lively classroom atmosphere.” Many times, it seemed there was a sense of interest in lessons that may not have been there without the historical connection. The incorporation of the history of mathematics seemed to create connections and appreciation of the material that may not have been present otherwise.
