As an alternative to the axiomatic system, the method suggests using history of mathematics to deliver excitement and motivation and engage the class.
In his 1895 talk[2] given at the public meeting of the royal society of sciences in Goettingen, "On the arithmetization of mathematics", the famous German mathematician Felix Klein suggested the idea "that on a small scale, a learner naturally and always has to repeat the same developments that the sciences went through on a large scale.
"[2] In addition, the genetic method was occasionally applied in Gerhard Kowalewski's book from 1909, "The classical problems of the analysis of the infinite".
A direct genetic method displays the history of the development of mathematical concepts as a narrative.
The indirect genetic method includes the same information as the direct one, but the confusions and problems throughout the development of each mathematical concept are analysed and the motivations for the correct resolution are discussed.
