The purpose is to achieve a high-quality teaching effect in quality education using the new teaching concept. Firstly, the Deep Learning (DL) theory is introduced to improve the trial-error teaching method, then the trial-error teaching is combined with STREAM education. Afterward, the conical section hyperbola teaching in college entrepreneurship education is specifically studied under experimental analysis using the proposed DL-based integrated trail-error + STREAM teaching methods. The experimental results read: student’s average veracity on the multiple-choice question is 93.4% and 90.1% for the experimental group and control group, respectively; student’s average veracity on short-answer questions is 92.3% and 90.3% for the experimental group and control group, respectively. The results show that the application of DL to the trial-error teaching method can cultivate students’ in-depth analysis and logical thinking ability for mathematical problems. Meanwhile, the DL-based integrated trial-error + STREAM teaching methods stimulate students’ initiative to learn more difficult knowledge, establish integral knowledge systems, and more comprehensively and deeply understand the teaching content. As a result, students’ scientific literacy and humanistic literacy are both improved. Therefore, the proposed DL-based integrated trial-error + STREAM teaching method in college entrepreneurship education has a guiding significance for other disciplines and provides ideas for the expansion and development of STREAM teaching in the future.
