10:30 - 12:00 MWF Some Background An interesting site containing a wealth of information,
including a lot of history of mathematics,
has URL:
http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/index.html This is not required,
as part of any course, to be read by the students. But it does illustrate how
mathematicians have struggled with various ideas over the centuries and sometimes
it took several years, and the work of several different people, in order to develop
most topics which are now a part of what we call modern mathematics. Latest update of this webpage was on 26 January 2010
