This book comprises five parts. The first three contain ten
historical essays on important topics: number theory,
calculus/analysis, and proof, respectively. Part four deals with
several historically oriented courses, and Part five provides
biographies of five mathematicians who played major roles in the
historical events described in the first four parts of the
work.
"Excursions in the History of Mathematics" was written with
several goals in mind: to arouse mathematics teachers' interest in
the history of their subject; to encourage mathematics teachers
with at least some knowledge of the history of mathematics to offer
courses with a strong historical component; and to provide an
historical perspective on a number of basic topics taught in
mathematics courses."
