Mathematics Case Teaching Method and Its Characteristics and Significance

Abstract

Based on the teaching needs of applying the Nonlinear Functional Analysis, a new type of discussion-type teaching method was refined to strengthen the mathematical foundation and train the ability of scientific research, which is called the Mathematical Case Teaching Method (MCTM). It is an open teaching mode which is centered on an important principle in mathematics, with the results of applied research as the material, drawing on the concept of Case Teaching Method (CTM) for case design, and on the basis of students’ full research. It has similar but not identical characteristics and teaching advantages with traditional teaching methods.
