The End of the 19th Century and the First Third of the 20th Century
Original language description
The chapter is devoted to the history of modern mathematics. It recalls a major skepticism toward the future development of certain branches of science, which was a consequence of fascinating results obtained during the 19th century. It discusses new trends in mathematics which influenced mathematical thinking at the turn of the 19th and 20th century. It focuses on the birth of the axiomatic approach and set theory and their role in the development of modern mathematics. The author pays particular attention to the third crisis of mathematics. The chapter explains why the crisis occurred, how and who attempted to solve it, and why it could not be resolved. The chapter describes why some mathematicians embarked on the difficult and challenging journey of mathematical accuracy and struggle for exactness, and shows that their attempts influenced the axiomatic development of various mathematical disciplines.
