The role of the history of mathematics in mathematics education, as a support in teaching, is widely acknowledged.

Abstract

The role of the history of mathematics in mathematics education, as a support in teaching, is widely acknowledged. It can serve to arouse students’ interest in mathematics as well as to stimulate reflection on mathematical concepts and methods. This work focuses on the group as “cross-concept”, in relation to its history from its origins in algebra to its applications in other areas. Given its very nature, the group should be adequately re-evaluated in an interdisciplinary approach, which may prove particularly captivating in linking the history of mathematics to the history of the psychology of perception. This historical interdisciplinary perspective may be useful in the context of university mathematics teaching, particularly teacher training.
