Using History in Math Class The purpose of this Web site is to encourage and facilitate the use of the history of mathematics in the teaching and learning of mathematics at all levels. Gerald L. Marshall marshall@math.ilstu.edu created it as a Ph.D. project under the guidance on his mentor Dr. Beverly S. Rich bsrich@math.ilstu.edu during the spring of 1999. Any questions or comments on this site should be addressed to them using the e-mail links above. Some of the most useful Internet sites on the history of mathematics that provide assistance for the inclusion of history in the mathematics classroom are identified, described, and hyperlinked via relevant URLs below. These sites have been tentatively divided into five broad categories. Some sites may fall in more than one category. However each site appears in what seemed to be the most relevant category. INSTRUCTIONAL Using history in mathematics classes helps to increase motivation for learning. This category includes sites that promote the use of history in mathdmatics classes, sites that provide examples where this concept has been applied, and sites that post bibliographies and additional links that allow for extended research. A teacher can find samples of classroom proved projects here. http://www.maa.org/news/ihmt99.html

67. Mesopotamian Mathematics history of mathematics Archive page on Babylonian Mathematics. David Joyce s history of mathematics site has a Babylonian page which includes a map, http://it.stlawu.edu/~dmelvill/mesomath/

Mesopotamian Mathematics The purpose of this page is to provide a source of information on all aspects of Mesopotamian mathematics. We explain the origins of mathematics in Mesopotamia from the earliest tokens, through the development of Sumerian mathematics to the grand flowering in the Old Babylonian period, and on into the later periods of Mesopotamian history. We include some general surveys to get you oriented in each period, and some more detailed resources for those interested in specific aspects of this fascinating episode in history. Like most other Web pages it is under slow construction as time permits. Some of these resources are of general interest, others are intended mainly for use by students in my History of Mathematics class. Background History A very brief and biased summary of Mesopotamian (political) history. Intended to provide a context for the mathematical history in later pages. Chronology A summary chronology of the main periods of Mesopotamian history and the mathematics associated with them. Overview A short summary of the main phases of growth in Mesopotamian mathematics. The topics mentioned here will all be expanded upon in later pages.

Using Original Sources in a History of Mathematics Class Overview This is the home page for my collection of materials for using original sources in a history of mathematics class. I have used (most of) these materials in class and have had success with them. Much of what students learn in history of mathematics courses and mathematics courses in general is a modernized version of these sources. One can easily say "Fermat and Descartes invented analytic geometry", but it is difficult to recognize modern analytic geometry in the writings of Fermat and Descartes ( especially Descartes). Getting from the source to the modern version can provide insight into the past and the present. For prospective secondary mathematics educators, this can also provide insight into the teaching of certain topics. This is in the spirit of Abel's often quoted "It appears to me that if one wants to make progress in mathematics, one should study the masters and not the pupils". This site contains a reading list and a collection of discussion questions and homework problems. I hope you find something that will be useful. Much of the motivation for my creating this site is my participation in the Institute on History of Mathematics and Its Use in Teaching, a National Science Foundation (

Today, the term refers to a specific body of knowledge - the rigorous, deductive study of numbers, shapes, patterns, and change. Every modern science depends on basic mathematics at the most fundamental level, including such operations as counting addition and subtraction Fundamentals In addition to recognizing how to count concrete objects, prehistoric peoples also recognized how to count abstract quantities, like time days seasons years . With counting established, then, the ideas of addition and subtraction naturally followed. See arithmetic Mathematics undoubtedly could not have developed out of simple counting and arithmetic, however, without writing . Perhaps prehistoric peoples first expressed quantity by drawing lines in the ground or scratching wood. (See

79. A History Of Mathematics At Rutgers The history of mathematics at Rutgers is bound up with Rutgers unique history, F. Cajori, Teaching and history of mathematics in the United States, http://www.math.rutgers.edu/docs/history.html

``A History of Mathematics at Rutgers'' by Charles Weibel (originally written in 1995) Contents Prehistory at Queen's College (1766-1816) The one-man Mathematics Department (1825-1863) George William Hill The Land-grant Era (1863-1905) ... Bibliography Mathematics was present from the very beginning at Rutgers. To illustrate this point, consider the following items. The first math major (DeWitt) helped win the Revolutionary War with his surveying. The first professor at Rutgers was a mathematician (Adrain), and his salary was endowed with a 2-year lottery. The most famous mathematician ever associated with Rutgers was an undergraduate (George Hill). The Land Grant status of Rutgers was due to a mathematician (Murray) and George Cook (of Cook College). Finally, numerous buildings and roads at Rutgers bear the names of people who have taught mathematics here: Freylinghuysen, Taylor, Murray, Van Dyck, Titsworth and Morris. The history of mathematics at Rutgers is bound up with Rutgers' unique history, compared with other American universities. It has been at various times a colonial college, a small private college, a land grant school, a hodge-podge of different colleges, and finally a modern State University. The role of mathematics at Rutgers has been different in each of these eras. Many other branches of the University had their origins in the Mathematics Department or its ancestors. Until 1877, Rutgers had a string of "Professors of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy", whose interests were clearly Mathematics and not Natural Philosophy (Adrain, Strong, Murray and Rockwood). The Chemistry and Physics departments sprang up to augment this position, with the arrival of Lewis Beck (1830) and Francis Van Dyck (1866) to teach courses that had been previously taught together with mathematics. Civil and Mechanical Engineering gradually branched off of Mathematics during the era 1866-1903. The Statistics Department split off in 1952, the Computing Center (now RUCS) in 1963, and the Computer Science Department in 1966. In the 1980's both RUTCOR and DIMACS emerged as separate entitites, largely out of the Mathematics Department.
