Rowe captures the rich tapestry of mathematical creativity in this collection of essays from the ?Years Ago? column of The Mathematical Intelligencer. With topics ranging from ancient Greek mathematics to modern relativistic cosmology, this collection conveys the impetus and spirit of Rowe?s various and many-faceted contributions to the history of mathematics. Centered on the Göttingen mathematical tradition, these stories illuminate important facets of mathematical activity often overlooked in other accounts.  Six sections place the essays in chronological and thematic order, beginning with new introductions that contextualize each section. The essays that follow recount episodes relating to the section?s overall theme. All of the essays in this collection, with the exception of two, appeared over the course of more than 30 years in The Mathematical Intelligencer. Based largely on archival and primary sources, these vignettes offer unusual insights into behind-the-scenes events. Taken together, they aim to show how Göttingen managed to attract an extraordinary array of talented individuals, several of whom contributed to the development of a new mathematical culture during the first decades of the twentieth century. . 606 $aMathematics 606 $aHistory 606 $aHistory of Mathematical Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M23009 606 $aHistory of Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000 615 0$aMathematics. 615 0$aHistory. 615 14$aHistory of Mathematical Sciences. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 676 $a510.9 700 $aRowe$b David E$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$053378 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300115503321 996 $aA Richer Picture of Mathematics$92000246 997 $aUNINA
