Defending Hypatia: Ramus, Savile, and the Renaissance Rediscovery of Mathematical History - Archimedes
Robert Goulding
Why should mathematics, the purest of sciences, have a history? This book explores how Renaissance scholars recovered and reconstructed the origins of mathematics by tracing its invention in prehistoric Antiquity, its development by the Greeks, and its transmission to modern Europe via the works of Euclid, Theon and Proclus.
