Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research project conducts basic research on modality and methodologies of mathematics education for economists that urges understanding that exploits geometrical intuition, economic intuition, as well as other kinds of intuitions. We reflected them to undergraduate teaching material and graduate teaching methodology development.
