Ivor Grattan-Guinness Huethig Buch Verlag, 1990             Companion Encyclopedia of the History and Philosophy of the Mathematical Sciences1 review The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2003 it's part of a set Amazon apparently has missed the fact that this is part two of a two-volume set, and they eveen have both volumes in their database. I only have them wishlisted now, after seeing a real copy during a two-hour visit to the engineering-science-math section of the Stanford University bookstore, where I wishlisted hundreds of dollars worth of books, mostly in math. When I purchase both volumes I'll ...             George Boole - Selected Manuscripts on Logic and its Philosophy (Science Networks. Historical Studies)1 review Birkhäuser Basel, 1997 a frustrating read While Boole is considered one of the founders of computing, few people have actually read his papers. This book offers a chance to remedy that omission. It gives a sampling of papers that show Boole's thinking, and how this changed over his lifetime. The papers also somewhat indirectly reflect how logic was perceived by other mathematicians in Victorian Britain. The book can be a trifle ...             Convolutions in French Mathematics, 1800-1840: From the Calculus and Mechanics to Mathematical Analysis and ... Ivor Grattan-Guinness Birkhäuser Basel, 2000             Landmark Writings in Western Mathematics 1640-19401 review Elsevier Science, 2005 Good reference --- no more, no less Each landmark writing is discussed in a 10-15 page article that has a little bit of everything: biography, historical context, summary of contents, reception and impact. The diluted-soup effect is very noticeable. This is not a history of mathematics, nor a guide to reading the sources, nor anything else except a fairly useful reference. Some day we would like to see a book like this with the ...             Joseph Fourier, 1768-1830: A Survey of His Life and Work Ivor Grattan-Guinness The MIT Press, 1972 Beyond being the first substantial publication on Fourier, this work contains the text of Fourier's seminal paper of 1807 on the propagation of heat, marking the first time it has ever appeared in print. This paper incorporates many of the mathematical creations on which Fourier's fame rests, including derivation of the diffusion equation, the separation of the treatment of surface phenomena from internal phenomena, the use of boundary values ...             Pierre-Simon Laplace, 1749-1827 Charles Coulston Gillispie, Robert Fox, ... Princeton University Press, 1997 Pierre-Simon Laplace was among the most influential scientists in history. Often referred to as the lawgiver of French science, he is known for his technical contributions to exact science, for the philosophical point of view he developed in the presentation of his work, and for the leading part he took in forming the modern discipline of mathematical physics. His two most famous treatises were the five-volume Traité de mécanique céleste ...              search for books 1640-1940, 1749-1827, 1768-1830, 1800-1840, analysis, calculus, companion, convolutions, encyclopedia, fourier, historical, history, landmark, laplace, manuscripts, mathematical, mathematics, mechanics, networks, philosophy, physics, pierre-simon, rainbow, science, sciences, selected, settings, studies, western, writings books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
