that weird? It just doesn't seem very practical to me 1 of my friends agreed with me on this. Math is about doing problems and solving equations. History is relevant to politics, religion, literature, films & the arts, but its not relevant to math & science. So why would there be history of math classes, it doesn't make sense to me.
Yeah I understand math has changed over the course of its history. But is the history of it really relevant. Who cares who invented the Pythagorean theorem, its the practical application of the concept that matters not who developed it. History IS relevant to politics, religion, literature & film but its not relevant to math or science
