A very interesting site on the World Wide Web is the MacTutor History of Mathematics archive at St. Andrews University in Aberdeen, Scotland. Here you will find biographies of hundreds of mathematicians.
Use of the computer algebra system Maple V Release 5 is an integral part of the course. Laboratory worksheets geared to the text are available here. Simply download the files.
I recommend the Mathematics Survival Guide of Professor James Martino of The Johns Hopkins University Mathematics Department.
The two writing projects for this course may be posted someday.
