Response to Integrating history of mathematics in the classroom

I believe the history behind math is a very important topic to understand as it allows students to better understand the differences in math over time and how much more advanced it has become allowing us to benefit greatly from the technology we have today. I also believe that demonstrating how practical and natural math is currently compared to historically will help them understand why its important. It would be best to go over a brief history before and introduction to new topics to give context of where a theory or formula came from in order to give better context on why it's important to learn. 

One item that stood out to me that I can agree with is the fact that many students dislike history and would therefore dislike the history of mathematics and thus math in general. Though I do believe this is true I think it is important to note that a deep dive into math's history may not be necessary but rather quick lessons on the importance or significant events/findings surrounding a formula or theory would be easy enough to include and make a large impact overall. Another item that I agree with is the lack of time and I understand that classroom time is extremely limited and there is a set amount of topics that need to be covered so I am curious if adding in history will require teachers to speed up lessons leaving certain kids behind.
