Outline of Final Research Achievements

As a result of investigation in the Economy or Sociology fields, it became clear that the most necessary mathematics contents are ratio or fractions. These are utilized widely as a concept contained %, decimals, complex fractions and continuous ratio. And change ratio/differentials, exponential/logarithmic functions, sequence/series are important. Furthermore matrix and partial differentials are utilized too. According to a result of overseas investigation, ES(economy & sociology) in a high school(France) is characteristic. Math learning contents in ES are correspond to those of the investigation results, and Math is made much of in Baccalaureate. To enhance Data analysis/Math education in the Univ., we made a textbook on trial and we tried practical classes containing Math and Economic contents based on this textbook, then students increase ability of Mathematical scientific decision making through active and multifarious interaction.
