For the past four years we have given, at the University of Alberta, a course entitled "The Nature of Mathematics". This course is open to first and second year students in arts and science and in education, and is designed primarily for those who will be taking only a single course in mathematics at the university. The only prerequisite for the course is high school mathematics and the course is not prerequisite for any other course.
