FormatRather than make this a history exam, where you are frequently required to memorize dates and facts, or a math exam, where you must memorize formulas and procedures, I am going to ask you to tell me about your experience in this short summer session. You do not need to study for this final and you will not need a study guide. In fact, you can start the final exam during the first week if you would like to. This is an essay so no citation or writing standard is needed. However, I do expect you to reference specific materials from the course, so a reference page is suggested. A cover page is not necessary but always allowable. The paper should be 12 pt. font, double spaced, between 500 – 1000 words and be in a font style like Times New Roman, Arial, or Calibri: standard type please, no comic sans.ContentYour essay should show evidence of your learning throughout the four main topics, grouped by weeks:From the beginning through Classical Greek times
European mathematics after the Greeks through 1500s
Mathematics outside the Mediterranean area, beginning through 1500s
Learning Institutions in ancient times
Do not just repeat the class materials, make it personal to your learning from this summer. How did you understand the development of mathematics from 3000 BCE – CE 1500? Include people, places, and institutions of learning in your analysis.
