Mathematical needs of three types of students
People who study mathematics can be divided into three categories: those who use little or no mathematics after graduation; After graduation, I will use mathematics in my work, such as math teachers in primary and secondary schools and engineers in science and engineering, such as researchers in physics, chemistry, biology and computer. A mathematician who takes mathematics as his profession. Obviously, the mathematics required by these three types of people is different.
Problems in compiling teaching materials
At present, mathematics education in middle schools in China is basically something that everyone learns, and the compilation of teaching materials is based on the standards of ordinary people. So there will be two kinds of students who are at two extremes in mathematics learning-gifted students in mathematics (also called gifted students in mathematics) and backward students in mathematics.
Professional mathematics education institutions
According to the concept of "standard", we should write special mathematics textbooks for gifted and backward students, and even set up special schools. There are many special schools for talented students in mathematics abroad, and these students will generally make great achievements in mathematics in the future. But there is no such school in China at present.
The Present Situation of Mathematics Education in China
Judging from the present situation of mathematics education in China, this is an ideal mathematics education.
