There are history of math courses. I took one and enjoyed it, but it's a vast topic, reaching into ancient history. It's unrealistic to cover much of it.

- cardamomo 4y agoI'm an elementary school math teacher and would love to learn more about this! Is there anything you can share about this course (syllabus, etc.)? Email address is in my profile
- nitwit005 4y agoIt's been too long. It would have been this course: https://catalog.sonoma.edu/preview_course_nopop.php?catoid=6&coid=32648 https://catalog.sonoma.edu/preview_course_nopop.php?catoid=6... There are some other courses you can find by searching "History of mathematics syllabus", such as this Berkeley one that has quite a few usable links and references: https://math.berkeley.edu/~wodzicki/160/ https://math.berkeley.edu/~wodzicki/160/
