Demand for history of geometry course
Jeremy Gray mentions that "well over a hundred" students elected each year to take his history of geometry course at the University of Warwick (2001-2004). Not just enrolled, but also "completed the course and reported positively on their experiences. . . Individually and collectively they demonstrated a hugely encouraging desire to grapple with difficult material." A remarkable testament to the professor, the course, and the university--especially when some major universities offer no math history courses at all.
