In addition to the mathematics, this course focuses on the context in which these results were discovered as well as the lives of the mathematicians. Topics may include development of numeral systems, Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry, algebra, calculus, number theory, real analysis, logic and set theory. Offered fall of odd-numbered years only.
