Berggren, his scholarship, and service to the broader community. The first part, of value to scholars, graduate students, and interested readers, is a survey of scholarship in the mathematical sciences in ancient Greece and medieval Islam. It consists of six articles (three by Berggren himself) covering research from the middle of the 20th century to the present. The remainder of the book contains studies by eminent scholars of the ancient and medieval mathematical sciences. They serve both as examples of the breadth of current approaches and topics, and as tributes to Berggren's interests by his friends and colleagues. 606 $aMathematics 606 $aHistory 606 $aHistory of Mathematical Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M23009 606 $aMathematics, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M00009 615 0$aMathematics. 615 0$aHistory. 615 14$aHistory of Mathematical Sciences. 615 24$aMathematics, general. 676 $a510.901 702 $aSidoli$b Nathan$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aVan Brummelen$b Glen$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300144903321 996 $aFrom Alexandria, through Baghdad$91409921 997 $aUNINA
