This study investigates the role of mathematics education in fostering critical and analytical thinking skills among students in technical universities.

Students in the experimental group achieved an average score of 4.05 (on a 5-point scale) in mathematics, compared to 3.60 in the control group. The study also explored various pedagogical strategies for enhancing interest in mathematics, including problem-based learning, reproductive methods, and heuristic approaches. The findings of this research have significant implications for curriculum design and teaching methodologies in technical universities. The research also highlights the need for a holistic approach to mathematics education that goes beyond mere subject proficiency to foster skills that are increasingly valuable in the modern workplace.
