Sep 9, 2011 at 20:26 comment added David White Whoops! I didn't realizing editing an entry way below to fix a typo was going to bump this to the front page.

May 6, 2010 at 1:50 comment added Kevin H. Lin This semester at Berkeley, there's an undergrad class on the history of math, taught by Hartshorne (yes, that Hartshorne) and Mumford (yes, that Mumford). I didn't attend any of it, though I did peek into the class once or twice and it looked pretty interesting. You can find their course syllabus here: dam.brown.edu/people/mumford/Math191

May 5, 2010 at 19:55 comment added KConrad There is a collection of Bourbaki's historical notes in a single book, as "Elements of the History of Mathematics." However, it certainly would not be suitable for non-science majors.

May 5, 2010 at 19:50 comment added user717 Okay, you said "non-science majors". Probably Bourbaki is mathematically too advanced and historically not detailed enough. I'm sorry for this superfluous comment. :)
May 5, 2010 at 19:43 comment added user717 What about the historical appendices in Bourbaki? (This is more a question than a hint).
