This course will emphasize the beauty of mathematical ideas and their historical development. The course will survey mathematics starting with the Babylonians, Egyptians, and Greeks through the rise of Islamic mathematics and up to the present time. Topics will be chosen to represent the important fields of mathematics (e.g., algebra, analysis, geometry, and number theory) and to represent the greatest thinkers (e.g., Euclid, Fermat, Euler, Leibniz, Newton, Gauss, Cauchy, and Riemann). This is a capstone math course, required of all math majors.
