conversations.value: Give me a description for a book titled The History of Mathematics about with the genre: Science & Math, Mathematics.
conversations.from: assistant
conversations.value: This text is designed for the junior/senior mathematics major who intends to teach mathematics in high school or college. It concentrates on the history of those topics typically covered in an undergraduate curriculum or in elementary schools or high schools. At least one year of calculus is a prerequisite for this course. This book contains enough material for a 2 semester course but it is flexible enough to be used in the more common 1 semester course.
