From the Calculus to Set Theory, 1630-1910: An Introductory HistoryDuckworth, 1980 - 306 pàgines "From the Calculus to Set Theory" traces the development of the calculus from the early seventeenth century through its expansion into mathematical analysis to the developments in set theory and the foundations of mathematics in the early twentieth century. It chronicles the work of mathematicians from Descartes and Newton to Russell and Hilbert and many, many others while emphasizing foundational questions and underlining the continuity of developments in higher mathematics. The other contributors to this volume are H. J. M. Bos, R. Bunn, J. W. Dauben, T. W. Hawkins, and K. Moller-Pedersen. Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved. |
