Many different approaches to the study of the history of mathematics have been developed. Understanding this diversity is central to learning about these fields, but very few books deal with their richness and concrete suggestions for the ?what, why and how? of these domains of inquiry. The editors and authors approach the basic question of what the history of mathematics is by means of concrete examples. For the ?how? question, basic methodological issues are addressed, from the different perspectives of mathematicians and historians. Containing essays by leading scholars, this book provides a multitude of perspectives on mathematics, its role in culture and development, and connections with other sciences, making it an important resource for students and academics in the history and philosophy of mathematics. 410 0$aArchimedes (Dordrecht, Netherlands) ;$vVolume 66. 606 $aMathematics$xPhilosophy 615 0$aMathematics$xPhilosophy. 676 $a510.1 702 $aChemla$b Karine 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910766890503321 996 $aThe Richness of the History of Mathematics$93648646 997 $aUNINA
