Abstract

Education is universally recognized as the most effective tool of bringing desirable change towards the social and economic betterment and cultural transformation of the society in the status of human being and the country as a whole. In one hand, education develops the total personality of the individual and on the other hand education contributes to the growth and development of society. Humphreys, Traxler and North (1960) have very correctly remarked “Our future material and cultural welfare and progress, even our survival as a nation depends upon the wise use of abilities and energies of our people.” The main objective of this research is to find out the attitude of students towards Mathematics and also to see the influence of gender and medium of instruction on Mathematics achievement.
