Time Line Project:

During the spring of 1999, John Fauvel from the Open University in England visited the college and together with Steven Janke of the Colorado College Mathematics Department designed and produced the first version of this web history. It was first posted in September 1999.

The history is maintained and updated by Steven Janke.
