Burton - The History of Mathematics, An Introduction. Googling the title brings up a direct PDF link--since Google's hosting it, I assume it's legal.
That's the textbook I used in my 4^th year history of mathematics course (math faculty course, so it was pretty heavy on the math).
I took a History of Mathematical Thought class in college where we used this book. I actually enjoyed reading through it, which is weird for a text book. I recommend it if you want a brief history, and some neat practice problems from all types of math throughout history.
