Abstract

I want to begin with an explanation as to my position in coming here to address you. I am not an expert upon the history of mathematics. I have come in order to tell you something of my experiences in trying to teach a little of the history of mathematics to sundry university students. This had its origin in the determination of Professor Milne, even while he was teaching at Clifton, to propagate a knowledge of the history of mathematics amongst students who, as a rule, know absolutely nothing of it. He continued on that crusade in a true missionary spirit at the University of Leeds.
