Abstract

Both history of mathematics and education of mathematics are old subjects. This question arises whether these two important subjects can help each other or not. Unfortunately this idea divided mathematics society into two groups one have the idea that History of Mathematics can help education of mathematics and the other group have idea that not only history of mathematics can not help education of mathematics but also it make some confusion. In this article I am going to make some comparison and take some conclusion that history of mathematics can make education of mathematics so active and interesting.
