This seminar course is a survey of selected topics from the history of mathematics. Through exposure and access to primary historical sources and other materials, students will gain deeper insights into mathematical concepts they have seen before, be introduced to new mathematical ideas, and learn about the development and developers of mathematics in the past and present. The primary objective of the course is for students to synthesize various mathematical ideas from fundamental and advanced mathematics courses as a capstone experience for the major. Students will complete a project about an advanced mathematical topic with presentations in written and oral form at the end of the course.
