I am interested in what subjects and activities mathematics undergrads were involved in the beginning of the 20th century. Most subjects mathematics majors study at an intermediate and advanced level now were relatively recently developed (for example, Measure Theory or Modern Logic). How different is an early 20th century mathematics undergraduate from a 21st century mathematics undergraduate?

3$\begingroup$ Perhaps specify a location. I think "major" is a US notion? This signifies undergraduate study? $\endgroup$– Gerald EdgarCommented Apr 29, 2023 at 15:11

3$\begingroup$ I agree about location. Also, because the teaching of mathematics in Europe/France may be very different from the US. $\endgroup$– FrankCommented Apr 29, 2023 at 15:17
