Resum

Beyond the recognized instrumental nature of mathematics, as a language and a tool in the service of science and technology, the History of Mathematics reveals its cultural dimension and its remarkable impact on the History of thought. Thats why it is an instrument to dignify and culturally enrich the teaching of Mathematics and promote their interdisciplinary integration into the harmonic overall of the scientific, artistic and humanistic knowledge that constitutes Culture. In a very synthetic way, it searches in the links that Mathematics has established throughout history with the various disciplines, particularly those that in academic sense are called humanistic. Thus we can see that in every era, many of the ideas developed by Mathematics arise from the interaction with its cultural environment and they revert to it as a language as well as a tool of interpretation of that whole world.
