Abstract: | In general, students in school learn mathematical concepts by words. Some mathematical concepts, however, are difficult to understand by words. This is especially true of some of the more complicated concepts in mathematics taught in higher education. For students who are studying to become engineers, it is very important to understand mathematics intuitively. Ways must be found for them to learn mathematics that will promote intuitive understanding. We often find that a figure helps us understand mathematical concepts and provides important clues for solving problems. A figure may serve as a concrete expression of an abstract mathematical concept; it is a visual image of the mathematical concept. A visual image is a figure with no words but its title. The aim of this article is to introduce some visual images that are effective in mathematical education. |
