The aim of this study is to introduce Muḥammad ibn Mûsâ al-Khwârizmî and his works in terms of history of mathematics and mathematics education. Muḥammad ibn Musa al-Khwârizmî an Iraqi Muslim scholar and it is the first of the Muslim mathematicians who have contributed to this field by taking an important role in the progress of mathematics in his own period. He found the concept of Algorithm in mathematics. In some circles, he was given the nickname Abu Ilmi’l-Hâsûb (the father of the account). He carried out important studies in algebra, triangle, astronomy, geography and map drawing. Algebra has carried out systematic and logical studies on the solution of inequalities at second level in the development of the algebra. He with all these studies have contributed to mathematical science and today was a guide to the works done in the field of mathematics.

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar alguns elementos metodológicos de utilização de biografias como recurso articulador no ensino de matemática. Argumentamos em torno de um uso ponderativo de biografias ao invés do ornamental, isto é, de uma abordagem histórica que envolve um aprofundamento de conceitos e não somente de temáticas triviais. Apresentaremos uma metodologia que tenha profunda relação com o desenvolvimento histórico das ideias matemáticas e a história da educação matemática. Agindo nesse sentido, objetivamos propor a utilização de biografias de educadores matemático, matemáticos e cientistas como um recurso de aprofundamento em disciplinas dos cursos de licenciatura, mais especificamente no nosso caso, História da Matemática, Filosofia Geral, Tendências em Educação Matemática, Didática Geral e História e Cultura Afro-brasileira. Traçaremos uma breve trajetória da utilização de biografias como metodologia em história, ciências e matemática, procurando perceber como a historicidade do conhecimento científico é importante na elaboração deste tipo de trabalho. Procurando perceber paralelos, vemos que que o desenvolvimento da matemática não é independente do meio-cultural em que está inserido, sendo importante atentar para o contexto histórico da formação das ideias. Utilizamos esse conceitual metodológico no curso de Licenciatura em Matemática da UTFPR campus Toledo, nas disciplinas de História da Matemática, Filosofia Geral e História e Cultura Afro-brasileira (esta optativa), cuja metodologia de trabalho explicaremos neste presente texto. Por fim, ressaltamos o uso potencial da utilização de biografias de educadores matemáticos de renome para serem trabalhados em disciplinas em que prevalecem os saberes para ensinar.Palavras-chave: História da Educação Matemática. História da Ciência. Formação de professores.

We argue about a ponderous use of biographies instead of an ornamental, that is, of a historical approach that involves a deepening of concepts and not only of trivial themes. We will present a methodology that has a deep relation with the historical development of mathematical ideas and the history of mathematical education. Acting in this sense, we aim to propose the use of biographies of mathematical educators, mathematicians and scientists as a deepening resource in disciplines of undergraduate courses, specifically in our case, History of Mathematics, General Philosophy, Trends in Mathematics Education, General Didactics and Afro-Brazilian History and Culture. We will trace a brief trajectory of the use of biographies as methodology in History, Science and Mathematics, trying to understand how the historicity of scientific knowledge is important in the elaboration of this type of work. Looking for parallels, we understand that the development of mathematics is not independent of the cultural environment in which it is inserted, and it is important to look at the historical context of the formation of ideas. We use this methodological concept in the course of Mathematics Degree of the UTFPR campus Toledo, in the disciplines of History of Mathematics, General Philosophy and History and Afro-Brazilian Culture (this optional), whose working methodology will be explained in this text. Finally, we highlight the potential use of the use of biographies of renowned mathematical educators to be worked in disciplines in which the “knowledge to teach” prevails.Keywords: History of Mathematics Education. History of Science. Formation of Professors. Biographies.

This study aims to determine the development of mathematics education in Indonesia. The research method used is descriptive method, by presenting a description, clarification of a phenomenon and facts in mathematics. As well as library research (library research). By collecting several books, articles and opinions from experts regarding the development of mathematics and mathematics education which are then developed with various existing findings. The results showed that the development of mathematics was based on philosophy, because philosophy is the root of all human knowledge, both scientific knowledge and non-scientific knowledge. The historical development of mathematics, Babiliona mathematics refers to all mathematics developed by the Mesopotamians since the beginning of Hellenism. At that time the development of mathematics expanded to several countries such as Egypt, Greece, Arabia and India. The development of Mathematics Education in Indonesia is never separated from the history of the curriculum. The importance of mathematics in life is not surprising if mathematics learning has developed and adapted to the needs of the times. The development of mathematics learning in Indonesia is as traditional mathematics, modern mathematics, and modern mathematics.
