Found an ancient e-mail I sent on 16-SEP-1991 22:31:30.33 updating a math professor I had no classes with but I liked to chat with now and again (David C Kelly, “His interests include analysis, probability, the history of mathematics, recreational mathematics, and 17.”) I was going to Hampshire College in Amherst MA which had (has?) an intercollege exchange with 4 other nearby colleges.

I have a lot of learning to do on this period as well, but my approach would be to consider how many perspectives of this time frame to consider? A) You could go through religious perspectives: 1. Eastern Orthodox 2. Islamic 3. Latin / Roman Catholic I think there may be two Islamic perspectives here as there are two major historic divisions in Islam that probably have distinct historical perspectives to consider.
