This is a course on History of Mathematics, offered in the Mathematics Department as part of Union College’s General Education curriculum, with a focus on learning to contextualize, analyze and explain the historical development of mathematical sciences in a variety of cultures and periods. Student term projects foreground learning to work with primary sources to correct or enhance the vast quantity of inaccurate or incomplete “common knowledge” about history of mathematical sciences. This “restorative research” is targeted especially towards online reference works, and especially towards information about less well-known mathematical scientists throughout history. So the Wikipedia assignment seems tailor-made for this course!
