Description: This interdisciplinary course offers an introduction to the development of mathematics from antiquity to the present. Moving beyond an outline of the development of mathematical ideas in Europe and its colonies, students will also study mathematical developments in other cultures, including the ancient Mesopotamian, Chinese, Indian and Egyptian civilizations. An emphasis will be placed on the understanding of mathematical developments in broader historical and cultural context. Students will discuss various points of view concerning selected core controversies in mathematics, research and write about the contributions of individuals or cultural groups to the development of mathematics, and solve a variety of mathematical problems of historical interest.

Prerequisites: Good algebraic and expository writing skills.

This course fully meets the General Education requirement for Mathematics and Other World Civilizations.
