The phenomenon has resulted in no balance to improve all kinds of subjects.In maths, the maths quality of the students who study liberal arts is lower than that of the students who study science. It isn't good for our educational aim to train students in all round way--morally, intellectually and physically.In general, people think learning theory is the base of teaching theory in the theory and practice of teaching and learning.

I will go further into the ways of improving maths ability of the students who study liberal arts, which is not only the needs of the educational aim in quality education in our country but also the needs that learning theory can be used in the teaching practice.According to practical experience, this article chooses some factors of learning psychology which have great effects on maths study to the students who study liberal arts.
