Over the course of its history, mathematics has been shaped both by the subject’s own internal logic, as well as by the nature and needs of the society it which it was developed and transmitted. This module gives you the opportunity to see how the mathematics studied today has evolved over the centuries, and how mathematics relates to wider issues in culture and society. Through a mixture of lectures, student-led presentations and guided study involving the research and writing of essays, you will become familiar with selected aspects of the development of mathematics and its applications throughout history.
