MATH 330

Introduction to the History of Mathematics

Here is the tentative schedule of presentations. I will create a collage of the electronically submitted jounal entries (the parts dealing with the subject matter), and post them here after the deadline for submission has past, so you can take a look and see what other people learned from each presentation. Since the ends of long files seem to be lost on the San Marcos server, each collage will contain only 6 journals. Your web browser should indicate which of the links to these collages are active. (As a special bonus, the collages are presented on a variety of colorful backgrounds!)
