Název v původním jazyce

The Algebrization of Mathematics during the 17th and 18th Centuries. Dwarfs and Giants, Centres and Peripheries

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This book delves into the historical phenomenon of algebraization in mathematics during the late 17th and 18th centuries. It aims to provide a deeper understanding of how analytic geometry and infinitesimal calculus became established disciplines, considering external influences like intellectual, geographical, and political factors. The book also highlights the role of “dwarfs,” a term encompassing mathematicians, technicians, artisans, and others often ignored in traditional histories, in spreading mathematical knowledge. It emphasizes the significance of peripheral countries like Italy and Spain in adopting and contributing to this knowledge.
