Leibniz On The Foundations Of The Differential Calculus

de David Rabouin e Richard T. W. Arthur

~~66,24€~~ 59,62€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This monograph presents an interpretive essay on the foundations of Leibniz’s calculus, accompanied by key texts in English translation. The essay examines Leibniz''s evolving views on infinitesimals and infinite numbers, tracing their development from his early metaphysical ideas to his mature justifications of the calculus.Leibniz first proposed treating infinitesimals as fictions in the 1670s, in line with the mathematical practices of his time, where abstract concepts could be used in calculations without implying their existence. By 1676, he rejected their status as quantities, yet continued to refine his arguments on this topic into the 1690s.The essay concludes with an analysis of Leibniz’s defense of his calculus in the early 18th century, showing how his later works naturally extended from earlier insights. This monograph will be a valuable resource for scholars and students of Leibniz and the history of science.

Ramified Surfaces - On Branch Curves And Algebraic Geometry In The 20th Century

de Michael Friedman

66,24€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The book offers an extensive study on the convoluted history of the research of algebraic surfaces, focusing for the first time on one of its characterizing curves: the branch curve. Starting with separate beginnings during the 19th century with descriptive geometry as well as knot theory, the book focuses on the 20th century, covering the rise of the Italian school of algebraic geometry between the 1900s till the 1930s (with Federigo Enriques, Oscar Zariski and Beniamino Segre, among others), the decline of its classical approach during the 1940s and the 1950s (with Oscar Chisini and his students), and the emergence of new approaches with Boris Moishezon’s program of braid monodromy factorization.By focusing on how the research on one specific curve changed during the 20th century, the author provides insights concerning the dynamics of epistemic objects and configurations of mathematical research. It is in this sense that the book offers to take the branch curve as a cross-section through the history of algebraic geometry of the 20th century, considering this curve as an intersection of several research approaches and methods. Researchers in the history of science and of mathematics as well as mathematicians will certainly find this book interesting and appealing, contributing to the growing research on the history of algebraic geometry and its changing images.

Motion And Genetic Definitions In The Sixteenth-Century Euclidean Tradition

de Angela Axworthy

66,24€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 A significant number of works have set forth, over the past decades, the emphasis laid by seventeenth-century mathematicians and philosophers on motion and kinematic notions in geometry. These works demonstrated the crucial role attributed in this context to genetic definitions, which state the mode of generation of geometrical objects instead of their essential properties. While the growing importance of genetic definitions in sixteenth-century commentaries on Euclid’s Elements has been underlined, the place, uses and status of motion in this geometrical tradition has however never been thoroughly and comprehensively studied. This book therefore undertakes to fill a gap in the history of early modern geometry and philosophy of mathematics by investigating the different treatments of motion and genetic definitions by seven major sixteenth-century commentators on Euclid’s Elements, from Oronce Fine (1494-1555) to Christoph Clavius (1538-1612), including Jacques Peletier (1517-1582), John Dee (1527-1608/1609) and Henry Billingsley (d. 1606), among others. By investigating the ontological and epistemological conceptions underlying the introduction and uses of kinematic notions in their interpretation of Euclidean geometry, this study displays the richness of the conceptual framework, philosophical and mathematical, inherent to the sixteenth-century Euclidean tradition and shows how it contributed to a more generalised acceptance and promotion of kinematic approaches to geometry in the early modern period.

Impossibility Of Squaring The Circle In The 17th Century - A Debate Among Gregory, Huygens And Leibniz

de Davide Crippa

52,99€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book is about James Gregory’s attempt to prove that the quadrature of the circle, the ellipse and the hyperbola cannot be found algebraically. Additonally, the subsequent debates that ensued between Gregory, Christiaan Huygens and G.W. Leibniz are presented and analyzed. These debates eventually culminated with the impossibility result that Leibniz appended to his unpublished treatise on the arithmetical quadrature of the circle.The author shows how the controversy around the possibility of solving the quadrature of the circle by certain means (algebraic curves) pointed to metamathematical issues, particularly to the completeness of algebra with respect to geometry. In other words, the question underlying the debate on the solvability of the circle-squaring problem may be thus phrased: can finite polynomial equations describe any geometrical quantity? As the study reveals, this question was central in the early days of calculus, when transcendental quantities and operations entered the stage.Undergraduate and graduate students in the history of science, in philosophy and in mathematics will find this book appealing as well as mathematicians and historians with broad interests in the history of mathematics.
