Included in these are a discussion of Bolzano’s objections to Kant’s philosophy of mathematics and an examination of the influence of rhetorical and poetic aesthetics on the development of symbols in the 16\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e and 17\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e Centuries.  The remaining papers deal with the history of mathematics and cover such subjects as \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarly schemes for polar ordinates in the work of L’Hôpital, based on lessons given to him by Bernoulli\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA method devised by Euler for determining if a number is a sum of two squares\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayfair’s Axiom and what it reveals about the history of 19\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e-Century mathematics education\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe modern library classification system for mathematical subjects\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn exploration of various examples of sundials throughout Paris\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eWritten by leading scholars in the field, these papers are accessible to not only mathematicians and students of the history and philosophy of mathematics, but also anyone with a general interest in mathematics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Birkhäuser\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2017-12-19\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319640921\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-64551-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 218\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44341028847756,"sku":"9783319640921","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319640921.jpg?v=1775844548","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319640921","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
