They are a fundamental pillar of our modern society, and accepted and used with hardly a second thought. But how did this state of affairs come to be? In this book, Leo Corry tells the story behind the idea of number from the early days of the Pythagoreans, up until the turn of the twentieth century. He presents an overview of how numbers were handled and conceived in classical Greek mathematics, in the mathematics of Islam, in European mathematics of the middle ages and the Renaissance, during the scientific revolution, all the way through to the 606 $aMathematics$xHistory 606 $aMathematics 606 $aNumber theory 606 $aNumber systems 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMathematics$xHistory. 615 0$aMathematics. 615 0$aNumber theory. 615 0$aNumber systems. 676 $a510.9 700 $aCorry$b Leo$0621465 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460734303321 996 $aA brief history of numbers$92073446 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00871nas a2200253 i 4500 001 991002550349707536 005 20240925092811.0 008 011205m19689999 || | |eng 022 $a0308-1206 035 $ab1167538x-39ule_inst 035 $aPERLE002667$9ExL 080 $aCDU 539.2 229 0$aComments on solid state physics 245 00$aComments on solid state physics. - 1968-1986 260 $aLondon,$c1968-1986 591 $aCodice CNR: P 00002498 592 $aLE006 1969-1975.

It explores how the single Soviet model that developed across the vast and diverse territory of the Soviet Union over several decades has evolved into fifteen unique national systems, systems that have responded to national and global developments while still bearing some traces of the past. The book is distinctive as it presents a comprehensive analysis of the reforms and transformations in the region in the last 25 years; and it focuses on institutional landscape through the evolution of the institutional types established and developed in Pre-Soviet, Soviet and Post-Soviet time. It also embraces all fifteen countries of the former USSR, and provides a comparative analysis of transformations of institutional landscape across Post-Soviet systems. It will be highly relevant for students and researchers in the fields of higher education and and sociology, particularly those with an interest in historical and comparative studies. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Global Higher Education,$x2662-4222 606 $aEducation, Higher 606 $aSchool management and organization 606 $aSchool management and organization 606 $aEducation and state 606 $aRussia$xHistory 606 $aEurope, Eastern$xHistory 606 $aSoviet Union$xHistory 606 $aEurope$xPolitics and government 606 $aHigher Education 606 $aOrganization and Leadership 606 $aEducational Policy and Politics 606 $aRussian, Soviet, and East European History 606 $aEuropean Politics 615 0$aEducation, Higher. 615 0$aSchool management and organization. 615 0$aSchool management and organization. 615 0$aEducation and state. 615 0$aRussia$xHistory. 615 0$aEurope, Eastern$xHistory. 615 0$aSoviet Union$xHistory. 615 0$aEurope$xPolitics and government. 615 14$aHigher Education. 615 24$aOrganization and Leadership. 615 24$aEducational Policy and Politics. 615 24$aRussian, Soviet, and East European History. 615 24$aEuropean Politics. 676 $a378 686 $aEDU001000$aEDU015000$aEDU034000$aHIS032000$aPOL060000$2bisacsh 700 $aHuisman$b Jeroen$01830420 702 $aHuisman$b Jeroen 702 $aFroumin$b Isak D. 702 $aSmolentseva$b Anna 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910845187703321 996 $a25 Years of Transformations of Higher Education Systems in Post-Soviet Countries$94400747 997 $aUNINA
