The Oxford handbook of the history of mathematics

This Handbook explores the history of mathematics under a series of themes which raise new questions about what mathematics has been and what it has meant to practice it. It addresses questions of who creates mathematics, who uses it, and how. A broader understanding of mathematical practitioners naturally leads to a new appreciation of what counts as a historical source. Material and oral evidence isdrawn upon as well as an unusual array of textual sources. Further, theways in which people have chosen to express themselves are as historically meaningful as the contents of the mathematics they.

  • "This Handbook explores the history of mathematics under a series of themes which raise new questions about what mathematics has been and what it has meant to practice it. It addresses questions of who creates mathematics, who uses it, and how. The thirty-six chapters are arranged under three main headings: 'Geographies and Cultures', 'Peoples and Practices', and 'Interactions and Interpretations'. They deal with the mathematics of 5000 years. The key mathematical cultures of North America, Europe, the Middle East, India, and China are all represented here as well as areas such as Russia, the Balkans, Vietnam, and South America.--From publisher description."
