This is a liberal arts course especially suited for those with interest in the humanities and curiosity about mathematics. (It is not meant for, though it does not exclude, students wishing to major in mathematics and is not preparation for advanced work in mathematics.) The subject matter is treated in an historical context, stressing the nature of mathematics as a cultural achievement and its place in the liberal arts curriculum. A modest knowledge of high school mathematics (algebra and geometry) is assumed.
Unless preregistered students attend the first class meeting or communicate directly with the instructor prior to the first class, they will be dropped from the class list. NOTE: Students must still submit a completed Drop/Add form to the Registrar's Office.
