Summary/Abstract: Mathematics occupies a very important position in the Modern World. It may be remarked that Mathematics plays a vital role in technical professions and latest researches. Years ago, people believed that Mathematics is a classroom discipline. Now we realize Mathematics is a tool, rather than a discipline. This argument comes because; Mathematics is now the main ‘ingredient’ of any Applied Sciences. The paper emphasizes a growing need to develop such teacher`s skills which enable him/her to perceive and subsequently present a discussed issue in a broader context, and implement facts and knowledge from various scientific fields into science teaching. A teacher’s didactic mastery lies in his/her ability to see and point out the possibilities of interdisciplinary connections in teaching-learning process.
