To begin, let me apologise for posting this on a board where
it obviously does not belong.

I have a friend who is currently attending Worcester Polytech
Institute, and he is interested in finding a graduate program
that centers on the history of mathematics. 

According to Donnie, my friend, he wants to be able to attend
a program that covers the _entire_ history of mathematics 
(something that overarches all of mathematics and not, say,
from Calculus and up).  He is interested in the theories and the
development of mathematics through time (and God knows, I've
heard him state time and time again that, to him, Math is an
art and not a science).  He is interested in the theoretical as
opposed to the practical.

At any rate, if anyone knows of a graduate program that specializes
in the history of mathematics, please e-mail the name of the school.

Once again, I apologise for posting this on the wrong board.
