MATHEMATICS LIBRARY:
INTRODUCTION
In any scheme of education, mathematics library plays a key role.Class room teaching has its limitations.It is difficult for teachers to go beyond the prescribed text book.Class room teachings may leave gaps and doubts.A library provides opportunities for leaving the gaps.The curious students get facilities for quenching their first thirst of knowledge through library.A well organised library is a source of attraction for its students.A mathematics library is the birth place of future mathematicians.It inspires, stimulates ans equips them to follow the footprints of great mathematicians.
A mathematics library,besides being a source of learning and inspiration to its students,also serves the interest and needs of teachers.Knowledge has no boundaries.A teacher has to keep himself abreast of the latest knowledge and skills in his subject.He has to learn most effective methods and devices for teaching. A good library in this sense,serves the role of a burning lamp.It sets burning the ambitions of learning more and more in teachers and inspires the students to imitate the ideals of their teachers.
NEED AND IMPORTANCE OF MATHEMATICS LIBRARY
Having realized the need and importance of library in teaching of mathematics it is now to be thought whether to have a separate mathematics library or not.Generally in schools,there happens to be ageneral library where all sorts of general books andbooks related to different subjects and activities are placed in different almirahs at different places.On big table or tables,newspapers,magazines,periodicals and journals are placed.This place also seves as areading room.
There should be a period for library reading in the time table for enebling the students of every section and class to have an easy access to such library.The teacher may take the help of monitor or some interested student of the class in the management of the affairs.Thw establishment of mathematics library in separate room or as part of general library may be supported on the following grounds:
1. The separate arrangement brings fficiency in the organization.
2. Mathematics teacher remains in touch with the volumes and literature available in library.
3. It gives a sense of separate identity and inculcates interest in the subject mathematics.
4. The student get better facilities for reading the books and literature.
5. It helps in the activities of mathematics club.
6. It may help in nurturing gifted and potentials students in mathematics.
Therefore,in every school attempts should be made to have a mathematical library with the cooperation of authorities and the students.
WHAT IS TO BE KEPT IN MATHEMATICS LIBRARY
Mathematics library should be made an attractive place.It should have useful information on its walls in in the form of writings, charts and posters about mathematicians,their contributions, the facts and principles of mathematics and the historical development of the subject mathematics.A library is known through its contents, therefore there should be a wise collection of useful books and literature in the mathematics library.For this purpose a mathematics teacher should spare no efforts for the judicious selection of books and literature.This collection then needs a proper categorization or classification.
