The article focuses on the history of mathematics during the twentieth century. The first part of the article is a largely factual summary of activity from 1900 to around the 1990s. The second part reflects upon imbalances in the measures of study of the various branches and aspects of the history of mathematics, changes in interpretations of some topics and developments, causes of the decline, relationships with mathematics education, and attitudes positive and negative to the subject among non-practitioners. Recently, some historians of mathematics became interested in the history of their subject to the extent that they published a large collective book on it in 2002.
