    The Reception of Brouwer’s Intuitionism in the 1920s

    by Dennis E. Hesseling ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    The significance of foundational debate in mathematics that took place in the 1920s seems to have been recognized only in circles of mathematicians and philosophers. A period in the history of mathematics when mathematics and philosophy, usually so far away from each other, seemed to meet. The foundational debate is presented with all its brilliant contributions and its shortcomings, its new ideas ... Read more

    by Auguste Comte ...
    Although Mathematical Science is the most ancient and the most perfect of all, yet the general idea which we ought to form of it has not yet been clearly determined. Its definition and its principal divisions have remained till now vague and uncertain. Indeed the plural name-"The Mathematics"-by which we commonly designate it, would alone suffice to indicate the want of unity in the common ... Read more

  • Taming the Unknown

    A History of Algebra from Antiquity to the Early Twentieth Century

    by Victor J. Katz, Karen Hunger Parshall ...
    What is algebra? For some, it is an abstract language of x's and y’s. For mathematics majors and professional mathematicians, it is a world of axiomatically defined constructs like groups, rings, and fields. Taming the Unknown considers how these two seemingly different types of algebra evolved and how they relate. Victor Katz and Karen Parshall explore the history of algebra, from its roots in ...
