Extract
School mathematics is customarily taught in three stages which can be described as practical, pure and applied respectively. They differ from each other in the way that they make use of scientific data; [1]. The first stage involves teaching mathematics through its applications; pure mathematics makes no use of applications and at the third stage known pure mathematics is applied to other scientific problems.
